Hi all
Ive seen threads on this countless times, but never any outcome. Basically a couple of weeks ago, my temperature light started beeping and flashing red, i thought, weird, and the coolany was very low, hardly anything in there, so i topped it up with antifreeze and a little more water. And a few days later it started flashing again and was low So i topped it up again and it has been continuos up until now. The past few days its been going very low. For instance the other night, i filled it up as it started flashing red, then drove about 20 miles home. Came out for work in the morning, started the car, and guess what, it started flashing again f*** sake i thought, bloody car. And since then its had to be topped up daily from near enough empty to the max line. Its got no white crap/sludge etc on the oil cap. The oil level is the same and no white stuff in there as i checked the dipstick and all seems fine. Changed the coolant cap and no luck. The car temperatures still seem normal, no change in them, doesnt overheat or anything. The only symptoms im getting to work from as the coolant pipes are full of pressure once after a hard drive, when driven sensibly with no hard accelerating, them dont seem to fill with pressure. But after a hard drive, i release the coolant tank cap and theres loads of pressure and sounds like a keetle boiling when undoing it. Also it seems to fill with like froth from a bear. Anyone ever been to a nightclub foam party, its coming back into the coolant tank like that Also the coolant hasnt changed colour, no grey colour etc. Im lost. Anyone please help as i just want to get rid of my car as its doing my bloody head in
