Leaking coolant fast.

[Craig]

All of a sudden my car has decided to leave puddles of coolant and I mean empty most of it in less than an hour. Is it a knackered water pump you think. It's booked in for some work to be done in the garage so can ask him to look at it aswell.
Thanks

Where is it leaking from ? Could be anywhere without even a hint of where abouts its coming from

 

[JamesBryan]

Waterpump or radiator end tank has cracked.

 

[Craig]

I had the under tray off for quick look. It looks like it's dripping down the passenger side of the radiator.

nsf lower corner of the rad.

 

[Craig]

It's looking like that mate yeah

 

[JamesBryan]

Fairly common on these and the Megane sport.

 

[Craig]

How much is a new one? Sort one problem out then there's another lol

 

[JamesBryan]

I'm not sure mate, i know Megane ones are £185 new.

Maybe look at a 2nd hand one that's not leaking?

 

[Craig]

Yeah think I will look into that mate cheers.
There's a few clios being broke at the moment.

 

[Craig]

Well as soon as I put the water in now comes straight out lol. Are the radiators easy to fit?

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah, you'll need to fill with Type D coolant and bleed it after fitting.

 

[Craig]

Ok mate cheers will order one. Until I've got it sorted could I put k seal in it for now?

 

[imprezaworks]

Kseal will work on small leaks. But from what you have described unlikely.

 

[Craig]

Fecking cars. Ok mate cheers

 

[Amos91]

Dont use Kseal.

Buy a Nissens 63855A.

 

[imprezaworks]

Kseal does work and works well, albeit a bit pikey.

 

[Craig]

It's only because I could get it for free lol. Not to worry. Fix one thing sonething else breaks

 

[JamesBryan]

Speak to @.J.a.m.e.s. he's breaking his 182.

Might have a radiator still going.

 

[Craig]

Cool mate will do
