Light high. I think Water extreamly low. Had car taken to garage, said needed new water pump.

What can the problem be ? is it leaking behind the dashboard ? but car
very dry inside Or is the air con faulty ?
Or should I get the EGR COOLER, sent away and checked ?
There is a leak from the gearbox oil cooler pipes And slight leak from the thermostat housing area

They don’t really know but guess it’s the head gasket, but I don’t think that.
Oil temp stays normal. And water only drops much, when heater is on.

They suggested the EGR cooler to be pressure tested first ?

Please can you advise me. Really Love my car, and want to keep her going

Hi Gary.
The first bit of advice is stop taking your car to whom ever did the work above, they are having you over, ie cost of heater resistor is.£75.90 for new with postage. It takes about 20 minutes to exchange it over. Therefore the cost should not have been more than £120 less maybe.

Regarding the water pump as already stated it should have been fitted with a new thermostat at the same time. cost of new pump £60

Three hours work to fit at average garage rates £50 an hour total £210 so again they had you over.

Now if you are still losing water make sure you are not topping then header tank up to much, also fit a new cap

Sounds like you had the usual problem of the thermostat opening to soon so an inline stat may have solved your problem, but you have had new water pump fitted lets hope it had a new thermostat fitted at the same time.
