| Slight coolant lose My wife who now has my old 03 superb 1.9tdi classic that I use for a taxi that now has nearly 200k has noticed that she has to top up the coolant She first noticed this after towing our caravan and I wonder if the extra strain would cause this it has never used any coolant before

| Re: Slight coolant lose As Roto says, it will be the radiator..... Look at the bottom corners of the radiator and if you see white marks then you have a leak, radiator isn't that expensive but it's a front off job to replace it:

| Re: Slight coolant lose My Superb had that problem, I kept on topping it up, and then it sorted itself out and I had no problem - until a woman infront stopped my progress at the roundabout, despite it being free. It may go after a while 1.9tdi elegance with 109,000 on the clock |

| Re: Slight coolant lose You dont have to take the front off to replace the rad, only the front bumper and support and it slides out. |
