Evening guys,
Ive been keeping an eye on my expansion tank for a while but yesterday I went to the the kids to nursery and was prompted with a low coolant level warning. So i checked to see where it was at and there was just under half when I always keep my tank topped up.
I took the cap off and started the car to see if there was perhaps an air lock in the system. Ran the car for about 10 minutes and held it at 2000 rpm for about 2 minutes. The level returned to normal.
Checked it again today and the level had dropped again. there is no staining around the water pump and I cant see any wet patches on the ground or in the engine bay. The car is not over heating and still runs smooth however I have noticed a small amount of bubbling coming through the return pipe back into the expansion tank.
Any ideas???
