Afternoon all!
Yesterday I found myself the perfect 55 plate 2.0L GT TDI - test drove it, inspected to best of my abilities (in the rain) and bought it! Had it 24 hours now and love it. Upon waking this morning, I moved the car to find a small puddle, I started it up fine and drove around for a few miles, parked it at a clear spot to inspect it. Placed a baking tray under the car, with paper on...and low and behold, there is a leak coming from the very front of the car, drivers side! It's a clear substance (coolant in tank is red) so I'm assuming just water...can anyone give any tips, advice or synopsis of why/where this is coming from? I have driven the car 55 miles home from where I bought it, drove it another 50 miles today, temp gauge stays dead in the middle and heats up at a normal pace, rather then just shoots up. Car starts first time everytime from cold start also.
I don't want to get overly attached to this beast, to find out its dying :(
