bucketep91 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 if it wasnt for bad luck id have no luck! Anyway i ound a lot of shit under my rad cap last week, like mud! so i flushed the system and changed the coolant and been checking it regularly. drove the car for most of the day yesterday and i checked the coolant level today there was practically none left and hardly any water in the rad and a bit more of that mud like stuff under the rad cap again, ive checked under the oil filler cap and that seems fine, oil on the dipstick looks fine too, i have no smoke what so ever but the car is a bit lumpy in higher revs. what u guys think?

scot-ish Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 is there any signs of a leak anywhere? did you flush it out thoroughly?? Quote
Starlet__SR Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 The crap on the rad cap will have just been gunge, nothing to worry about, might be an idea to do a pressure test on the system, cold then hot, air locks tend are a fucker to remove from the system, ever notice your heating changed temp??? Maybe do a compression test? Damien Quote
bucketep91 Posted January 23, 2010 Author Posted January 23, 2010 sorry I've not replied guys I've been busy. i just drained the water cleaned it out and filled it back up and added new coolant. my heaters stopped working because the water froze up (thats why i changed it) then it was fine and still is but it has been taking ages to heat up then when it warms up the temperature drops really quickly when the heaters are on.how do i pressure test it?
