The dreaded coolant loss issue
« on: 01 April 2010, 20:05 »
I am suffering this.  Once a month my coolant needs topping up.

Had it to two indy's who cant find any leaks and have ran pressure tests which come back fine.

Thinking of replacing the flange as per alan d's old thread.

Is this the right part?

Im not sure, I posted a copy of my invoice which had all the part numbers which they used to repair it. Try emailing the seller and asking him for the part numbers and see if it matches my invoice.

Mine went from max to min in betwee3n services , the dealer topped it up at the last service and its stopped losing . Could be the warmer weather has an effect as seems worse in the summer . No signs of leaks though
