Stuck at home, AGAIN!
« on: 19 February 2013, 07:18 »
Didn't make it to work again today due to the bloody car! Had to fill the coolent bottle up twice and didn't even make it a mile away from home. Think the ice last night made the hole in the rad bigger  :angry:

I experienced the same thing with my GTI, after a while it runs of out of things that can go wrong, and I've finally had a couple of months of trouble free motoring.

Dude you've done so much to it already.....push on and get it fixed. I did the rad on my old one....no air on, but was only about £60 IIRC and that included temp sensors
