Water problem
morson4x4:
Hi got got a disco in a perfect condition for £400 (the guy ibought it off was a muppet not a mud clubber btw) and the water level keeps going down i have left cap off to see if air in there and it got rid of a load but i been told i got white smoke/steam coming out of exhaust, the cooling system i fine and oil cap is normal no white stuff, any suggestions on what could be happening for loss of water pls :-k ps there no visable leaks
morson4x4:
Oh its a 2.0litre mpi petrol
SteveGoodz:
This sounds like my symptoms too ~ losing coolant, no visible leaks, no emulsion in oil ~ although my engine is a 300Tdi.
I've just replaced the water pump (which seized up and sheared the drive spindle) and am hoping that's the problem sorted. If it isn't then I've kinda come to the conclusion that the only reasonable explanation is a cracked cylinder head where the coolant is leaking directly into the exhaust manifold. Does that sound likely on an Mpi engine?
morson4x4:
Yeah sounds exactely the same i spoke to a garage today and they have said that 1/ radiator has air block and has to much pressure or 2/ as you said a crack in cylinder head which not going to be cheap so far i have left cap of and let the pressure push trapped air out wil try this again next week if not then i suppose it gonna have to be done the expensive way :doh: how much do u reckon that would cost
