About 3 weeks ago my 2002 1.4 TDI SE began showing a low coolant warning when I started the car in a morning, It would only come on briefly 3 times out of 10 and only from a cold start. I finally had a look under the bonnet last night to find that the coolant was indeed very low (just below the bottom of the expansion tank).
After a top up last night of plain water it has lost about 4 inches so i'm sure there is a leak somewhere. I checked the oil and that seems to be ok with no "gunge" which I'm told could indicate the head gasket!?! Could anyone advise on possible causes of this leak and if there is anything I can check to help narrow the problem down.
Many Thanks
Scott
