Leaks & Noises
2000 RENAULT SCENIC RT 1.6 16V AUTOMATIC
new water pump and cambelt kit - but leaking coolant
THE CAR RUNS VERY WELL NO OVER HEATING OF ANY KIND
TEMP' IS STEADY AND ON THE BUTTON
BUT NOW AND AGAIN
NOW THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE ENGINE IS LEFT OVER NIGHT TO COOL RIGHT DOWN
I FIND ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT LEAK
UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE
I TOOK THE CAR TO (BY 2 GARAGES)
THEY BOTH RAN THE ENGINE FOR A GOOD WHILE - BROUGHT UP TO HIGH TEMP'
THEN LEFT TO COOL DOWN NO LEAKS no signs any where
WERE FOUND ANYWHERE FROM HOSES OR AROUND THE HEAD GASKET OR WATER PUMP NOTHING LEAKING
THEN
I TOOK IT TO
A RENAULT DEALER TO HAVE BOTH A DIAGNOSTIC AND PRESAURE TEST NO LEAKS OF ANY KIND WERE FOUND
ALL I WAS TOLD AFTER PAYING THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE ££££
IT LOOKS TO BE
EITHER THE HEAD GASKET
OR A
CYLINDER HEAD PROBLEM
YET THEY AGREE THAT THE CAR IS RUNNING VERY WELL
PLEASE CAN HELP AND ADVISE
ALSO TELL ME

did they do a gas test to check for combustion in the coolant or a block test to check for oil in water?
