Hello All,
I've just replaced the headlights on my wife's 2001 LHD 1.4 A2 so that we can use it on UK roads but noticed the coolant expansion tank is empty!
Having read some previous postings that mostly relate to the 1.6, I believe that the Y shaped plastic pipe and the one that runs under the inlet manifold hasn't cracked because there are no coolant pools or any steam, in fact the car has been parked for several days.
I can though see pink residue on the top of the gearbox housing and more near and below the coolant sensor (which I believe also has the thermostat in the same housing and that is in turn next to the ignition coil/coil pack?)
I'm assuming this isn't simply the coolant sensor o-ring but perhaps a crack in the thermostat housing?
Thanks,
Ian
