Hi everyone, before I start my car is a 2008 Bravo Multijet 1.9 Diesel
I seem to have a issue with my coolant at the moment. It started when I had to pull over after my engine temp light came on briefly only to realise there was no coolant left. I've had my car over 2 years now and the coolant level has never dropped before.
I filled it back up and took it to the garage the next day. They ran a pressure test on the engine and the results came back as inconclusive. They said there were no obvious leaks and the pressure didn't change at all during the test (about one hour). They gave me a few options as they mentioned it could be the head gasket on its way out, but I decided to keep an eye on the level for a couple of days. They seemed confused by the issue!
A few more details. I drive about 250 miles a week, the consistenty of the oil is normal, the car starts perfectly and it doesn't drive or feel any different.
Is it something to do with the heating? A cracked pipe somewhere? I'm not going to pretend I know much but this issue has genuinely confused me! Should I seek a second/third opinion?
I checked the other threads and nothing too similar showed up. Apologies also if this thread is in the wrong place!
Thanks
Jack
