My gti6 has been loosing coolant all day, i noticed it had all gone so i filled it back up and drove about for a bit and its empty again. Temp gauge sits on about 90-100 degrees when driving. Thing is when i filled it back up it only took about a litre which didn't seem much. Any ideas? |

not sure only happened today. My cooling fans have to be swited on manually (previous owner put a manual overide in) and i forgot today. I parked up and i noticed some coolant from under where the over flow pipe is then when driving home i noticed it was running hot then checked and all the water had gone so i can only think that i let it over heat but i can't be 100%. |
