[Malty]

Ok i have had my fiat bravo 1.6sx nearly 2 years i luv the car to bits when its not costing me money which is nearly all the time i replaced my heater matrix 2 months ago which cost me a packet but apart from i still smile when i drive it!

that i it has done 60,000 i think this is gonna cost me loads to fix

the problem is there: -

1)The radiator water is blackish with a smell of petrol and oil!

2)it feels breathless

3) bugger to satart in the morning (i have a new battery and i have replaced the ht leads )

4) its sounds like ****.

5) it sounds as if the petrol is going in but only in 3 cylinders..

Best to get it to a garage for a radiator pressure test and a cylinder compression test.

No, my guess would be its boiled and warped the head.

Let me know where you live and I'll drain the coolant from your car and we will see how reliable it becomes
