My 1.3 multijet is a very clever little car.
obviously realising that the cold combined with water based coolant means serious risk to the engine from frozen coolant, while on my way into town today and some 20 miles from home it hit upon the great idea of dumping all of the offending coolant on the road thus not needing to worry about the coolant freezing........ Bastard Car !!!
so dumped it at a garage I know well (far to cold to be crawling around under cars) and it should be fixed tomorrow, seems to water pump seals failed catastrophically something I discovered when i tried to refill the coolant and it poured straight out again.
Now I have the fun of working out how to get to work tomorrow....grrrrr :bang:
