Hi All, I'm loosing 1Litre of coolant per 150 miles ( abour 1 weeks mileage). I have not replaced the original bottle or cap yet. Could a dickie bottle or cap loose that much coolant, and If I replace the coolant eack week for the moment am I safe... well as safe as can be in a FuXXXX Freebe 2.5V6 Petrol

get a sniffer test done - if it detects combustion gasses in yer coolant, you've got a big bill coming.

How much does a sniffer test cost at the stealers or could I do it myself ?

you can do it yerself if you've got the equipment.....

a decent indy should charge you about £30 - £50.
