Hi guys, need to pick ya brains again. Now i know this question will have been asked before and i have done my best to trawl through previous posts but i still cant come to a conclusion so here goes...
I bought my 3rd gen ssrg a few wks ago, when i got it home the radiator was dry, as was the expansion bottle. So i stuck maybe 5ltrs in with coolant and the level was above the fins. Happy with that. Went to work monday, came back friday, checked level and again it needed a couple of litres and i topped expansion bottle. Lookin again this week and expansion bottle empty and level just at top of radiator fins i think. No obvious leaks on rad or hoses so where is all this water goin? Is this a bad sign of head probs? theres no oil in radiator and temp seems fine (gauge does work) so im at a loss. As you can tell im not massively technical when it comes to the surf but i wont see her suffering, haha. When i get some money together im havin all fluids changed, radiator flushed etc.. but if im gonna need a new head then thats the least of my worries. Any comments/advice welcome surfers, cheers.
