vs radiator/coolant?????

[20Reino00]

I have a vs v6 4spd auto. Lately my ute has been using coolant but is not leaking anywhere and is not entering the heads so so what the f is going on any help would be appreciated cheers.

Sure you havnt got any leaks. Perhaps you should do a pressure test to double check.

Common problem is inlet manifold gaskets. Most of the time there will be oil sludge under the radiator cap

no oil sludge and been pressure tested by a mate but might take it down to the mechanics to make sure.

Mine was loosing coolant recently. My mechanic put the pressure tester on and initially couldn't find anything so left it on for some time. Eventually spotted a slow drip where the heater hoses enter the firewall. A quarter turn on the clamps and all was sorted.

Same here.
Did all the hoses and heater tap about 2 months later small leak.
Funny thing is after doing the test run and everything is sweet I always give the clamps a nip up and do the same about a week later.
