Head gasket/water pump/radiator replaced.
Car was cutting out when approaching junctions doesn't happen no more.
My last problem in which if this can't be solved im thinking about part ex'ing.
Any help would be great to solve this!
I am now currently losing coolant, 70-80 mile journey and it is easily noticable I am loosing water.no oil in the coolant. there are absolutely no visable leaks.
Car runs at 90 degrees at speed, when slowing down it goes over 90 to around 100 and the fan kicks in. This happens every journey long or short. Any way to help me stop losing coolant? I have had a 206 before this car and the temp was glued to 85 and i never had this problem i had only ever had the fan kick in once on an older 206 so why every journey is it doing it on this?
engine 1.4 8v.
thanks!

My 8v lump runs below 90 at speed, closer to 80 than 90 actually.
What time does the fan kick in? If coolant is going it must be leaking somewhere.

On other cars I've had them lose coolant but couldn't find a leak. Ended up finding a pipe from the egr cooler leaking on to the exhaust and evaporating. Try and get it in the air while running to look for leaks

Probably leaking from pipe at the water pump. Right next to the exhaust manifold.
