Major coolant leak!! pics...



  2000 clio 1.4 sport
Can someone shed some light on this please, parked my car up yesterday and as i was walking to the house looked back and it was pissing out liquid from under the bonnet. On closer inspection it seems to be coolant and coming from what looks like the thermostat housing, or what my haynes manual calls, the cylinder head outlet elbow. Do i just need a replacment one and if so where will i find one? Oh and its a mk1 ph1 1.2. Cheers for any help, pics:

yeah, scrappy or renault dealer will sort you out, grab a new one and hose clip thing, those ones u do up with a screwdriver (i forget what the proper name is) and it shud be a doddle to replace.

Is it metal where its squirting from? If so I'd say you need a whle new housing although I'm sue you could bodge something on easy enough!

Silicone a peice of 1mm Ally or something over the hole for ghetto-ness!
Or even jubilee clip a peice of bike inner tube over it really tight.


Those are only temporary measures like but will still work..............abit.
