Hi guys,
So a quick trip home results in my VX Calais making boiling sounds from the radiator. I open the hood to see that it has sprayed orange sludgy gunk down the radiator from the cap. There is also the same orange sludge in the overflow and it's hard to tell our much fluid is left. There doesn't seem to be any further leaks atm. I'm a bit skint on cash until the end of the week when I can get it flushed. So, any advice on how to nurse her through to the end of the week? - beside not driving it. :idea:
Could I just top up with coolant and water for now?
Thanks!
