VRob6 0 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 guys hi! been lurking for a couple of weeks, bought myself a nice fsh, but highish mileage Golf VR6 about a month ago. i drove half mile to shops this morning and the coolant light came on flashing. i topped the coolant up, it stopped winking at me, but, there seems to be a greenish coolant like patch halfway down the front of the engine. it would seem i have a leak. temp never soars, the car behaves itself impeccably in fact.what dou you think?Rob Link to post Share on other sites
cadguy77 0 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Check the thermostat housing it's on the bottom right hand side of the engine block as you look from the front. It should have 2 or 3 plugs/connectors going to it (depending on air-con)[lightbox=../../e107_files/public/1179932031_2253_FT176162_p2064335__thermo_switches.jpg][/lightbox]If it is as pic above then yes very common leak, replace the lot (housing, seals), parts are cheap enough Link to post Share on other sites
