matrix1 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Need help! Loosing coolant somewhere.A few weeks ago I did a coolant change, ( purely because it hadn't been done since I bought the car). Have used Honda coolant. Can't see any leaks, engine isn't overheating -possibly because I'm not letting the overflow resevoir fully empty?, so what could it be?There were no issues before I did the change - fluid stayed at max level.Any suggestions.

matrix1 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Could it be the water pump? as there were no issues before I did the coolant change. Passenger floor well dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
civicturbo79 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 It will have been air in the system from when you did the coolant change . They always take a couple of days to settle down again . You should only need to top it up a couple of times and I'm sure it will be fine.

matrix1 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks civicturbo 79. It was air. Just topped up twice more and now its settled.Should have realised really, as total amount drained and total filled initially was different.On a different subject, is there a how to on fitting coilovers? Couldn't see one in the suspension section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
