hello people.... I need someone to trace source of coolant leak from my V6 losing around a pint a week ish.. had thermostat and drain tube changed, HBV, matrix flush and a couple of hoses changed too ( inherited a car that had coolant issues) and now have another leak somewhere.... don't know if new leak or reoccurring old one... so I need trusty mechanic in North Wales area but could travel a reasonable distance to get it sorted...
Regards..... Keith.

Your closest is probably Elite Pete as he is around Chester area I think,if he still offers repair work and he is a reputable guy.
Drop him a PM :y
-
He's a difficult person to speak to these days.... he's done a lot on this miggy and knows it well.. need this coolant leak doing asap as its getting worse along with the wether
-
Try Daz then as he is abit further down the M6 at Stoke-On -Trent but well worth the journey as he is a "Top Guy" ;)
-
thought he had retired from service?
-
He's a little hard to get hold of sometimes but still available :y
Have you been able to see any traces of the coolant?
-
no it just smells as its running onto something hot..... really pungent smell so assume its running out as opposed to dribbling?
-
Do a pressure test on it first to check it is holding and you definitley have a coolant leak..then plenum/fuel rail off and have a good look around top of engine agin with some pressure in the system .That should help to identify where it is coming from as a first port of call. :y

Also drop JamesV6CDX a PM :y
