coolant leak...stumped!

Post by donkeychomp » Sun Dec 09, 2012 11:26 pm

Hi chaps

Having a brain spasm with this one.

Vitara 1600 injection...replaced the rad, water pump and ALL hoses.

It's still losing coolant. Did 12 miles today and the header tank was empty...checked that and it's not leaking.

Checked the oil (thought maybe a cracked block), all clean no white gunge.

Carpets all dry too.

Any ideas?

Cheers, Alex.
