Coolant Leak- Polo 1.2 2004

Post by Padfoot »

Hi, guys! I've had my Polo for a few months now, learnt to drive in it and passed my test in it. But a couple of months ago my coolant warning light came on and started beeping. So I topped it up with a bit of water and then used proper coolant once it had been delivered. That sorted the warning light so all was good. However, recently the light came on again, so I checked the coolant level, and sure enough it was below the minimum. Anyway, I topped it up again and within 24 HOURS, it was below the min. But the liquid leaking below the car is on the front passenger side (which is what's confusing me).
Any help? :?:

Thanks!

Hey Padfoot,

My Polo went for a service and they found there was a leak at the bottom of the radiator, on the passanger side, where a pipe connects. The only solution was replacing the radiator.

Regards,
