Hi guys,
Iv just not long since bought a Citroen Saxo SX P reg
Pretty much ever since this iv had various things going wrong
Firstly it was a leak in the inner manifold where a core plug had eroded, i had this fixed by a mechanic friend by replacing the rusty one and putting in two more core plugs. Then they fixed it back into place and everything seemed well. However the day after I was making a short 10 min journey and the red overheating light came on faintly at first but got brighter so I stopped.
Had it looked at again and got told it was probably either the thermostat or head gasket!!!
So now the thermostat has been replaced, however the car still seems to be running very hot and loosing more water than it probably should be but theres no red light coming on. There also seems to be alot of combustion/air in the system.
Head gasket???
There is no white discharge in the oil so doesnt look like its mixing and the heaters blow out hot air.
Any advice??
Not sure what to do as the car only cost £300 and iv been told the head gasket may cost the same amount again
Thanx in advance
