hi, i've recently done a fair of work on my car as it was a bit of a mess, luckily the car was free .
the car's a punto mk1 1.1 8v and i have a feeling the HG may be on it's way out,
It seems to be loosing coolant, although there was a leak where the rubber hose goes onto the thermostat which i try to fix and that keeps popping up, but I think I've finally sorted that,
What sort of symptoms should I be looking for an early HG failure, i'm getting hot air through vents, don't think heater matrix is leaking, don't think I appear to be getting the obvious signs, e.g. mayo under oil cap, was wondering if someone could shed some light on this,
cheers
