Coolant leak and Overheating?
the thermostat seal is weeping something terrible, losing about 500ml for 50-100 miles, so keeps needing topping up until the part arrives. My partner uses the car for work -im just the tech!- and didnt top it up at all last week, then complained the heater was cold and I had to top it up about a litre and a half.
What worried me is that before topping up the temperature gauge was at 9 oclock and not red light, but the dash test said the coolant was 125degrees c.
Surely at that temperature the needle should have gone beyond 9 o clock?
