I have a 200 tdi and have coolant leaking from the rear of the engine there is no contamination in the oildos anyone know where it could be coming from ?
 
when i squeeze the hose between the rad and the pump i can hear air at the rear so i am guessing a hose are they a pain to change ?
 
Find the leaking pipe first...
Undo the bottom drain hose.
Change damaged pipe;undo jubilee clips.
Pipes from LR supermarket,paddocks or rimmer brothers.
Replace bottom hose.
Refill with anti freeze 50% approx 1 gallon slowly via header tank.
Remove plastic cap at top of engine will help 'bleeding' process.
Retighten plastic cap.
Run engine & check coolant level.
 
not on thermostat housing - one in top of radiator tho. Change it fur a household radiator drain plug - the plastic ones are prone to breaking :eek:
 
It seems to be leaking from the back on to the top of the gearbox i didn't think there was a core plug there?
