Looked through past threads and none seem to cover my particular problem. Its a 300TDI and over last few years the temp guage has gone up on the odd long steep hill or heavy sand driving - about 10 times over 30000 miles of thrashing it around. I have always had to put 1/4 litre or a bit more of water in each day to keep level an inch below half way mark. Today I find there is no water in the expansion tank - it is dry. It was last used on a return 30 mile trip for a service. Before that it was driven non stop from southern France a few weeks before. Now the garage says he topped it up. If he did I have a problem. If he did not then it is not as serious. Given that he topped it up and can see no leaks after a trip round the block after refilling has anyone any idea what the problem might be given I leave for Morocco in a few days.
