well today about 20 min before i checked the engine in the garage and put some screen wash im and there was no coolent so i got some ready mixed from the garage and put it all in

but there was heat when there was no coolent in

" thanks for fast reply"

[rowl3y]

just checked the engine again and i just put 1 liter of ready mixed coolent in and its all gone ..

could this be the problem ??

[Steve B]

you must have a leak, and may be airlocked when refilled, check all hoses, connections, and waterpump

[rowl3y]

lol how do i check all that lol

[rvm]

hi, are the pipes that run to the heater matrix from the engine hot or cold . because i had a thermerstat stick, which in turn stopped the heated water getting to thr cab. i hope this helps.

i had to put loads of water it ..

it held for like 2 sec the like a bubble and all drained in the the engine filled up again and hot air again lol

Any anti-freeze?

[Steve B]

well, you must surely have a leak if your chuckin that much coolant in, you need to find where its losing it, what did the temp gauge read when the heater started blowing out cold air?

[rowl3y]

the temp was saying harf.

i will keep an eye on it it might of just being fully empty

[MrMPuk]

Did you put anti-freeze in?

[Steve B]

I dont think antifreeze will make much difference here, it wont be in the engine long enough there wont be anything to freeze around the block and head, there has to be a leak somewhere !

[ake]

I bet your water pump is leaking, as an indication that it is about to fail

[rowl3y]

yes its still broken

and thew power stering is playing up as well
