I've been driving all morning, but there was no hard driving involved . . . this is my "fuel economy" tank . . .
So I was being very careful with the right foot, and just as I'm pulling into the carpark back home I was rewarded with the smell of coolant. 'Oh no,' I thought, parked and popped the bonnet. Sure enough, coolant spray was EVERYWHERE. Looks like it sprayed from the cap of the coolant tank itself.
What I want to know is WHY? Could it be because a blockage developed somewhere? Or that the new radiator isn't as deep (front to rear) as the old one? (although Repco sold it as a VN V6 radiator . . . ) Or maybe it's because I didn't dilute the coolant concentrate enough and it was too thick or something??
The car's never done this to me before, so why would it start now? Is there anything specific I should check?
Any information appreciated . . .
Cheers
