Engine Cooling problem
1993 Vauxhall Astra 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 45.000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there, the other day driving on the motorway I noticed the engine's temperature going right up to 120 degress!!! i was desperate and pulled out on the first safe place i could find. it was lack of water and since then i have to top it up everyday. cant find the leak. so then my husband and I noticed the bonnet inside is full of water marks. is it possible that the water compartment's lid is loose so the water/coolant is evaporating through there when i am driving? and in this case replacing the coolant compartment would do the job? we cant think of anything else. thanks for helping.
