Re: Losing Coolant / Water but no other symptoms :|
Radiator would be my first guess, mine had a small hole in the rear at about 150k that you could see from under the bonnet, when I took the bumper off to change it there was a much bigger one on the n/s bottom corner on the front. It didn't drip or steam, just a tell tale orange stain. Thanks will ...
