What could be causing the coolant problems in my Renault Clio 1.2?
I'm having some issues with my petrol Renault Clio Rush 1.2 8V. I had the water coolant tank and stop light show on my dashboard because the engine was overheating. I found there was no coolant in the tank, but last time I checked there was some. The cap was secure, no external leaks, so I refilled the coolant and it seems to be okay. A mechanic has done all the necessary tests but is unable to source the issue. I was wondering if you have any ideas?
If the mechanic has checked for head gasket failure and found no fault, then we would suggest (if not already done) a pressure test on the cooling system, as this should establish any leaks from there. Another thing to check is the expansion tank itself plus the cap.
