500 Coolant leak around glow plug.

JohnGidman · Jun 12, 2021

Hi, new to the forum, I've found a coolant leak around the left hand side glow plug on a 1.3 diesel fiat 500. Has anybody else experienced this issue, is it going to be a new head or would changing the glow plug fix it? Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi

Any idea on the history of this engine..

Any seized plugs before?

I do seem to recall 1 similar post a while ago.

Found it..

There's definitely been one plug replaced but not the one that's leaking.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

Had a proper mechanic look at it today and he says it's a new head.

Has it 'just failed'..

Or do you think work has been done before?

In some respects its lucky its a car with some value.. my puntos are not worth that cost
