    Default Not happy!

    1800 miles in my new veccie, and the coolant light comes on, open bonnet to find coolant tank bone dry, looks like its all leaked out of the connection.

    Did they forget to tighten the hose or something?

    it will be a spring clip, so the tension is preset..

    it could be a split hose, or split tank, or misfitted clip...

    take it to the dealer and have a rant..

    a pressure test will show any leaks as the air pressure forces water out of any leak/split/crack....if there is a leak anywhere on the system the test will show it easily...it's foolproof and the results are instant
