#1: Lealking coolant? Author: dsiingh, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Mon Jul 22, 2013 1:11 pm ---- Hi all
Ive brought myself another 206 this time its an estate 1.4 03 plate.
It has full service history i brought it a few weeks ago. Today whilst stuck in traffic the fan kicked in. however when I got home and parked it up there was a big puddle underneath the car. and the coolant tank looked as if it had dried residue on it. It did look like it had been leaking from the cap of the reservoir tank.
im presuming it was this which had leaked.
any remedies people?
Thanks in advance

I topped it up back to half way full and let the thermostat kick while the cap was off the reservoir tank just in case there were any bubbles or air locks in the system.
