Hello,
So the heater were not working as there was no water in there, but its losing it like no tomorrow! Ive not looked but been told the rad is 100% fine and dry blah blah...
So whats the best way without looking everywhere, if thats the best way ill do it tomorrow anyway.
Cheers.

lol I was expecting something like that!
Its a astra van 04 1.7 i think. My brother had a look and thinks its something under the guard... Well im yet to look but didn't know if i could do something like fill it with water then rig the compressor up and blow it out of the hole

K-seal, perfect grinding paste for waterpumps, highly reccomend it for the person you hate ![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
use a pressure tester if you have access to one.
these normally blow a small water hose 90degree jobbie and easy to spot.
hopefully remove the splash guard and if its had coolant/antifreeze in you should see the dry pink residue![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
pipe that splits may be for the EGR cooler, if memory is right. done loads of em on these

When you say presser tester, are we on about what i said?
"fill it with water then rig the compressor up and blow it out of the hole"

Had a leak on my XR3i years ago and couldn't see anything immediately obvious but on closer checking it turned out to be a tiny hole in a core plug. Put a new one in and all was good again. If it's losing it "like no tomorrow" then it shouldn't be too difficult to spot.
