deposits in coolant
Posted: Sun May 24, 2009 5:26 pm
was plannig on fitting a remote thermostat on my wifes s2 elise today
until i saw how inaccessable the original bloody stat is. going to cut an access panel through the boot rather than remove the inlet.
ayway i took the cap off the coolant reservoir ad its not looking too clever . discolored and what looks like greasy copperish deposits all over the inside.
its looks very like copper slip grease.
we have had the car only 4 weeks and its the first time i've looked i there so no idea if its a new prob or was like that .
oil is fine and drives fine , temp is fine as well . have covered 1500 miles since purchase with no probs
any ideas what is causing this. i kow they are notorious for HGF
seems fine other wise.
hopefully i'll be fitting the new stat tomorrow and so new coolant. i will need to keep an eye on it to see if the same thing happens
