We have a 1999 1.9 tdi 110 BHP AFN Wagon. I was checking the oil the other day and noticed that the cold coolant level was low. Had a look around the engine bay for tell tale pink coolant staining and noticed a bit of wetness below the top radiator hose.
I gave the hose a wiggle where it joins the radiator and it seems loose? It doesn't have a jubilee clip but some sort of weird spring clip?
When I wiggled it a little coolant escaped, so I think I have found the leak.
Do I need a new clip, new hose? Can I replace it with a jubilee clip. Any thoughts/advice?
Leak from top radiator hose?
