Oh no.......

[Deaky]

Supposed to be going to Holland on Wednesday and this light's just come on.

 

[Dellmassive]

Oh. Over heat?. Or that from cold?

Lost temp data,?

Fans on full,,?

Lost coolant,?

 

[timthetinyhorse]

Think low coolant flags a message on the MFD (or mine did)

 

[Broadside]

Nightmare. Good luck getting it sorted.

 

[Deaky]

It’s low coolant.

 

[timthetinyhorse]

It’s low coolant.

Have you had egr work or anything completed lately? mine ran for a while after egr work and then dropped suddenly (i assume due to an air lock)

So leaking or injesting it.?

Rad pressure test?

Yes, I had the EGR cooler replaced a few months ago

Not sure yet mate. I stopped away last night and the wife was going to pick me up in the van but she sent me the pic instead.

I've had exactly this after my egr replacement, I topped it up twice (funny enough once was in Holland) between having it done in March til my MOT in sept where they noticed a slight leak from the cooler, they took it back in and sorted it out.

That sounds like the best case scenario

 

[timthetinyhorse]

i would top it up and see how she goes, mine has never dropped again since being topped off after the egr cooler replacement

It's been 6 months since it was replaced. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Mine was around 3 month and I can only put it down to an air pocket in the system or similar as its been absolutely fine since.

 

[Deaky]

The coolant level was just on minimum. There’s no white smoke from the exhaust and no visible leaks that I can see. ill be using it over the weekend and monitoring the level. Fingers crossed.

 

[Broadside]

These issues are weird. Mine dropped a reservoir of coolant down to the low coolant alarm sensor in September. It’s been pressure tested with no issue found. We’ve kept on driving it and 1,500 miles later the coolant level hasn’t budged a mm off the normal level.

It’s like a part of the coolant system had been closed off which then reopened so the level dropped and now it’s topped up the coolant level won’t move again.

 

[Deaky]

I've driven into work this morning with no issues. I'll check the level when the engines gone cold.

Fingers crossed for you

 

[Dellmassive]

we thinking airlock then?

did you top up the coolant before?

Topped the coolant up last night. Driven into work this morning and checked it when cold. No perceivable drop.....
