[Charmaine12]

Hi

Just went for a full service and noticed that coolant is at minimum level.

Techician check and didnt discover any external leaks.. visual check.

Today the coolant level drop again.

Any idea what is the course and where can i get repaired ?

Ask mechanics do a "Pressure Test" to comfirm..

By the way,did they changed the coolant during the full servicing.?

chk any leak after car is parked, chg new tank or hose.may leak during your drive so cant chk easily.

Only top up coolant.

 

I didnt see any coolant on the floor after overnight parking.

 

Any recommended workshop with pressure test?

Did you turn on heater in the car lately?

 

The leak could be along the pipe to aircon, happened to mine where they can't find any leak until it drip on my feet.

i use this mechanic shop "tyre house" at Lorong ampass off balestier road. U google for their number n call the boss Lois ask them any idea what's going on.

If no external leaks, most likely, internal leak. Head gasket is the main suspect. If too much coolant accumulate in the cylinder and u try to start the engine = engine piang.

 

 

Better send car to workshop to check further.

Then TS is advised to go workshop and check the car.

 

Coolant dropping and topping it up from time to time is quite common for TC cars but not for NA vehicles. Even then for TC vehicles, it is not very often done.

TS also disappear when it is resolved w/o informing the rest of what is actually rectified.

It should be basic courtesy to update when the issue is resolved.

Roger..will update the thread.

 

As for this cAse.. likely to be head gasket gone. But it will be a big repair. So workshop advise to wash the radiator first.. (may solve the prob).

 

Radiator was replaced as alot of the vents are choked up.

 

Damaged 300. And cant guaranteed that problem will be solved.

seriously your workshop is unprofessional.

 

a pressure test is all it takes to know where the leaks come from.

 

unless they dont have it then......

Just check the engine oil if its milky

 

then good news its not disapprearing,

 

its just going into the engine.

 

Your workshop is very good you always go there.

 

Try to find a bad work shop that you never go to.

For the amount of work that is being done, i.e. replace radiator and fixing/cleaning up etc., the cost of S$300 is pretty much a bargain if you ask me.

Did your car overheat before? Likely engine head gasket gone. Big job!
