Stop light , engine light and temp gauge at top

[syko6288]

Just been driving home from work and all seemed fine then the lights came on and the temp gauge was at the top

I pulled over and look at coolant level and its empty but i checked it on monday and all was fine also checked oil cap and no mayo


Anyone shed some light or is it headgasket


Cheers daz

Sounds like a coolant leak from somewhere. Check the dipstick for mayo too.

I will do mate cheers and ill look around and follow hoses to see if it is

as said look for mayo on dip stick... i would top it up with more water and coolant and c if u can find the leak from that...

 

[syko6288]

Topped up with just water as i kniw there is a leak now and it came straight out of bottom so i took all of the trays off the bottom of the engine and tried more water and its all coming straight out again from the side of the engine so im thinking water pump

How hard is it to remove ?

Cheers

hope it's not the water pump mate :S It's in a pain of a place. It's easier to do when the belts are done. I think it's doable though. Is that defo where it's coming from?

i've done loads of radiators recently

I was speaking to a renault MT about coolant the other day. He said that over time the coolant becomes very corrosive, and because of this he always changes the water pumps on belt changes for this very reason.

Yeah its all i can think of realy without stripping my car any more but as soon as i put water in the coolant bottle its coming down the side of the engine
