    Mate how much coolant are we talking and in what time frame????? Have the system pressure tested, had one where the it was overheating whilst in motion and boiling the contents of the water bottle. Full system check reqd there mate. What is your temp gauge doing?? Unusual but check your carpet mate.

        car has never overheated. Hell Hitman and myself did a radiator flush and replace radiator fluid and coolant replacement about a week before i bought the car from him. In all accounts the car should be mint,

        It used about 1 litre of coolant, it's the girlfriends car, she drive's it like a nana, but does take really goos care of the car. She actually likes VW. Dare i say it.

            In that case you should fill her up and start from scratch, pressure test the system.

              im wondering if that turbo feed line needs to be re washerd.. i highly doubt it as i replaced all the crush washers on all the feeds.. when i had the turbo out..

              soo..

              hmm


              see if we can get it pressurised and see if any comes sprinkling out any where

              either that or it had air in the system and it dissapated??
