trusted mechanic in North Wales?
« on: 24 November 2013, 12:07:38 »
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.

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" ;)

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
