Project Civic Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If you have a slow leak then there is your problem.My brother's Civic had a slow leaking radiator, once we replaced it everything was fine.Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I do have a slow leak where the pipe joins the bottom of the rad, still not sorted it yet as can't be bothered emptying all the coolant refilling and bleeding out the air locks. Remove clip, turn pipe in situ ,after releasing the pressure,replace clip and top up coolant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sounds like failing water pumps to me, or air lock but no the water shouldnt drop at all get some UV dye from fleabay dump it in the tank if you have a leak it will find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynabal Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I've fixed this now, turned out the clip holding the bottom hose on was completely rotten and was allowing small amounts of coolant to leak out, I only realized when I tried noodles suggestion, so I removed it and replaced with a jubilee clip, no more leak! Thanks noodles for suggesti ng your fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Glad you fixed and I guess you realise no amount of water loss is good thing as I have found with my camper van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynabal Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah take a look at your hose clip, it might look ok but when I got some pliers to squeeze the clip it just fell apart lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
