Checked my coolant level - as usual I could see a thick blue colour liquid in the bottom inch of the translucent filler pipe so I thought it was OK.
To make sure I started pouring in water, and kept pouring and pouring, tipped in some neat anti-freeze then some more water. After a total of 1 litre of liquid the stuff was finally nera the top of the filler pipe. So, yes my coolant was rather low. Thanks! I've never had a car where the coolant level was SO difficult to gauge, am I doing something wrong?
I'm surprised my coolant temp gauge has been reading in the normal central zone considering the level. Any comments?
Pete, do you think I still need to replace the power steering fluid now I've filled up with coolant? Have you traced this trickling sound before to bubbles in the power steering fluid?
Cheers all,
Paul.
