Isignia 1.8 VVT - Coolant loss/oily water
Discussion
Afternoon all
So I parted company with 3 grand 5 months ago for what I thought would be a nice motor. Then I read the reviews on here! The car is very underpowered and the clutch is now slipping!
My main problem now though is the loss of coolant. I had the low coolant warning a week ago so topped up. the warning came on again a few days later and then yesterday the engine temp shot up to the red. When I checked, the reservoir was almost empty and had what looked like a clear/oily substance floating on the water. I topped up and limped home. I have had no heating for a few days neither.
I am fearing head gasket but hopefully someone on here can put my mind at rest with possible other reasons.
73k on the clock.
Many thanks
