coolant leak

[nickshally]

Hi guys, my 172 is loosing coolant, going from max to min on bottle in about 200 miles or so, seems to be wet on passenger side when I look from under the car.
Any common problems anyone had with this and could possibly point me in the right direction

Heater pipes, split coolant bottle, have a general check around.

Think it could be water pump actually, is the water pump next to the alternator?

 

[Mr R.]

Its on the same side, yes.

Just below it.

 

[nickshally]

Is it a new pump then?
Or could it be an easy fix on the pump?

Forgot about water pump.

It would be silly to not replace the pump if you're having to have it out.

Could be leaking through the seals, or the gasket.

Genuine Only.

Yes new pump, gen only.

Also replace the Aux belt kit + fill with Renault type D coolant

just a note though the water pump isn't on the passenger side!
