Hi there, i have only had my A2 for around 2 months but i seem to have a bit of a coolant problem! the car is a 2001 Y 1.4TDI SE. it seems to be loosing coolant, but i can not see any signs of this under the car, and there are no usual headgasket problems (i am new to diesels!) eg smoke from the exhaust, water in coolant etc. The garage have had the car for over a week, and at first it would not loose any coolant, then yesterday it did the usual and emptied the coolant resevoir pretty quickly! they now think it is the headgasket, but they are not sure! i dont really want to go down this route unless there is definate proof! can anyone help me? what are the signs of headgasket failure on a diesel? are they the same as a failure on a petrol? can you do a sniff test on a diesel?
Kind Regards
Nick
