Hi all, just found this site while searching for causes of a coolant problem - great site.

Have a 2.0 TDi, elegance for around 5 months, -love the car!! Recently it started losing coolant, very slowly! It was in the garage yesterday, they couldnt find the leak, they did a duration pressure test on it and checked the oil for contamination, but all showed up clear!!-going in again next Wednesday for a 'few days' to find the problem.

.........anybody any ideas??

It's losing coolant when running, but not losing pressure in a leak-down test? The only way I can see that happening is if the cooling system is blowing water out the overflow when the engine's hot! But it's an odd one.
