52 MCS Using Coolant

[woodfell]

Hi,

Can anyone please recommend a Mini specialist in the Guildford/Woking area for my 52 MCS that is using a lot of coolant.

Thks.

Is it not pissing out of the expansion tank like every other MINI?

Check the rad also on the end caps for leakage. Also the bleed point on the top hose can weep.

Thanks for the suggestions will check later.

Also check for dried antifreeze deposits on the thermostat housing - I'm not sure what you classify as a lot of coolant but had to have our thermostat housing replaced under warranty ( goodwill actually as it's a known problem )

We get the lid on the water tank just lets water out ever. It is worth starting with a good water level on a dray day and start the car. Let it heat up and look for water. Do check the water level in the tank. It should go up a bit but no to the top.
