hi all brought a 206 1.4 2001 last week, the bloke we brought it off said that the coolant keeps running low not everyday, it might be ok for a few days then itl all be gone.
however today the car just started driving really roughly and when i went to start it again it wouldnt start and water kept p**sing out of the mannifold, clear water not oil or grime.
any ideas what is wrong with it? it was only m.o.t'd 3 weeks ago surely they would have picked up on this?
can it be repaired? please help im desperate.
thanks

With my limited knowledge I would guess at the head gasket has gone?

If you are like me you need someone who knows a lot more to take a look at it. Better than guessing and worrying about the worst!

well if the water is coming out from manifold,then you have a problem in the engine head itself,as there is coolant (water) lines inside the head are broken,and the water is running inside the pistons,which make the water go with the exhaust.
