    Default VY Calais overheating

    hello..

    today i was drove VY Calais with supercharger v6... then suddenly the temp run high and getting too hot... then i was open the bonnet and found a water leaking next to radiator.. never see that before..

    so i remove the belts and check the water pump and play with it and feel thats they have little bit click click... also i check the radiator same time and found nothing wrong..

    so it time to change the water pump i guess so .. so i will have a other check it tmw...

    any idea for this ...

    Cheers

    If the water is next to the radiator it would likely be the radiator has failed. Can be caused by the thermostat sticking after start up and pressurising the system too much
