Uses Water

[1MP0R7]

Hi my r32 gtst radiator it's low on water about 500 to 700 mills low my car dosent run hot the temp gauge dosent go over half and I canot find any leaks, 1 thing my overflow bottle has no lid would this be a problem or what else could it be. ???

If you cant find it leaking anywhere (ussually you can see the white residue it leaves behind) then it could be leaking through the headgasket. Does it constantly loose water after its been topped up?

Checked for leaks through head gasket and it's fine, replaced it a month ago, well sometimes I do and sometime I don't need to refill it but lately every time I checked it I'd have to but the overflow bottle was stIll at full. Performance wise is sweet it dosent miss a beat. So I'm not to sure way my problem is.

How long have you had this problem? You mention the head-gasket was replaced a month ago...

If you have only had the problem since then I wonder if the system wasn't fully bled? Can be bloody hard to get ALL the air out.

If this is the case it will obviously get to a point eventually where it won't take any more water...

noticed the problem about a week or 2 ago... 1 thing i noticed is that when the radiator cap is off and you give the car some revs you can see the water circulating through it,should it bee doing that seeing how the thermostat should be closed on a cold start.??

please correct me if im wrong.
