Look at your dipstick. Does the oil look milky? If it does, you're screwed. If it doesn't, take it to a shop and get them to pressure test your cooling system. Often times it's a loose hose clamp.

Not much to say really.
Never ever drive an FD with any sort of coolant leak or problem, it is a sure fire way to kill the motor. Check coolant doesn't have oil in it, and check oil doesn't have coolant in it. Then, if it still won't start, take it to Rotechniks in Reading, they will sort it out for you, and empty your wallet, with a smile of course ! Good Luck, Richard |
do you think the stuff i put in the radiator might of caused the problem?the car had coolant in it ,it didnt overheat.it sounds more like the apex seals have gone.could it be the spark plugs or something electric?
