Check the hose that goes into the water jacket. The pipe could have perished or the clip may have come away. Other than that I agree with the above as regards to the water pump. As for your fans running with just the ignition on that's due to the car being so hot or turning your engine off at the point the fans naturally come on. ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |

No it's not come on 1st thing In the morning it doesn't overheat eitet Probably because the fans are always on  Sounds like two different faults to me, faulty fans and a coolant leak. Just jack it up and have a look  ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

put more coolant in to see if it does the same thing to see if you've not just run out of water as well! Hence you'll be able to see if the added pressure makes a difference to the leak and you'll be able to pin point the problem better?________________________________________ '13 208 Gti Bianca White, '99 Bianca 306 Rallye, '92 309 Goodwood GTi 5dr, '92 Miami Blue 309 GTi 3dr. |
