Hi all,
Every few hundred miles the temp gauge sign appears on the display of my wife's 1.6 FSI (2003). The expansion tank then requires topping up with probably about 3/4 pint and it the warning light disappears.
I have replaced the screw cap on the expansion tank as the old one seemed 'loose' and had a quick scan over the hoses etc but can't seem to locate a leak.
Coolant left in the bottle is clean, no gunk etc.
The car has done just short of 60,000 so needs cambelt, waterpump etc soon I guess but just wondered if anyone had had the same /similar issues or any ideas as to the cause?
thanks in advance
