enots Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 right last night had been driving about 10 mins and the battery light come on instantly pulled over as the alternator belt had squeeled a little when i left the house and checked to see it had snapped. anyway got towed home fitted a new one today and before starting up i was checking everything over and when i opened the rad cap i couldnt see any coolant. when squeezing the bottom rad pipe a little raises to the top of the rad. but the overflow bottle is above max coolant in the overflow is a dirty brown colour too ;) any one had any similar problems? i got a feeling its looking towards HG failure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Maybe the water pump leaked the water out somehow? Is the water pump sealed properly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
