My water is disappearing out of the overflow?.... i got told thats the head gasket going???... Also i know i havent got a water leak and the car doesnt over heat!

Can anyone help please????

 

Leak in the radiator? can you smell the antifreeze when you open the engine bay, its a sweet smell?

Get it to a garage & get them to do a pressure test, that should show up any leaks in the system.

 

Many thanks pal..... I dont see any water leaks around the rad, no anti-freeze smell???

 

i have had a couple of head gaskets go and when they do it chucks all the water out the header into the over flow near the pasenger wing , but mine definetly over heated when it did this

 

Could also be a faulty rad cap that's opening at a lower than expected pressure.

You would need to verify that there is exhaust gas in the coolant before you conclude it's the headgasket.

 

could be rad caps, thermostat sticking or head gaskets failing under boost!!

 

what headgasket did u use to replace?

 

I had this happen too!

Changed thermostat and header tank cap, but it still kept bunging the water out under boost!

The sniff test of the coolant showed up as clean and i was assured by a reputable garage that it wasnt HG .... they were wrong!

Does it only push the water out when boosting? i drove my around for a few months with no problems off boost to figure out and get the cash together to fix it.

 

mate i had sniff test done twice passed both times after not being able to find problem engine was stripped and was found that the head gasket had failed is ther any gunk in the expansion tank bhind pass headlight ?

 

this is currently happening to mine but its still under warranty.what should i do guys ?
