Title: Coolant loss
Post by: Ralph on 30 June 2014, 14:08:47

Hi, my car is loosing water, it seems to be dripping towards the rear of the engine.
I can't see anything obvious leaking, I replaced the HBV 5 years ago, how long do they last ?

How often do you change the coolant, and what type do you use?

The coolant gets changes every two years Vauxhall pink antifreeze used.

It looks like the HBV that's leaking, I can see water drippimg from one of the hoses just underneath it.
I'll order a valve from dealer & take it apart at the weekend.
