Urgent help needed

[smiiithy]

I know this is a complete novice question, but when I started driving this morning I got "STOP.. Check Coolant" and a warning light. It's on continuously. Do I need to use a specific type of coolant for my MK4 TDi? Where does it go? :embarassed:

Cheers,

Mike

Dealers and G12++

about £6 for 1.5 litres IIRC

Have you lost any coolant??  If you have get it checked out.  If not the sensor in the tank is playing up; either scrape the prongs or replace the entire bottle for £12

I'd check your coolant level (round bottle possibly under a plastic cover you lift off, it has a large screw off cap), if it's low have it checked out - if not then as Rhys said could be the sensor.

[smiiithy]

Checked the bottle and it is low. The bottle has G12 written on it.

I've rang the local Halfrauds who tell me they stock G12 but not G12++. Is it essential for me to get the ++?

Cheers,

Mike

Now spoken to local stealers and its £7-something for 1.5L of G12++, going down there now

[smiiithy]

Topped it up with G12++ and the message has gone.

Cheers guys.

[Jay]

Keep an eye on the level over the next 2 months.

Grrr it's back

Grrr it's back

Has it gone down? Look for leaks in the pipwork.

[smiiithy]

Going to check when I get a break at work.

Cheers,

Mike
