Hey guys,
Recently bought myself a little 1.9TDI polo. Super tidy thing, but as soon as I drove it for the first time the coolant warning light came on - after investigation, whatever muppet worked on the car previously put the temp sensor o-ring on the wrong side of the copper section. As a result, coolant was just dripping from the temp sensor.
Managed to take it out, put the o-ring on correctly and reinstall, but lost a heap of coolant in the process.
With that said, what do you guys recommend I use just to top up with coolant until I get the full tbelt/water pump done (it is due anyway)?
Further to that, are there any recommended euro specialised mobile mechanics in the North Brisbane area? Simply because I may just leave it as is and get someone to do the job properly, without worrying about putting in the wrong coolant until I can book in with a mechanic.
Cheers,
Josh
