Default Using Water

In the last 3-4 weeks, I've noticed that I am putting in around a pint of water between checking.

( religiously check, tyres, water, oil etc every Sunday morning.)

I do around 1,000 miles per week in mixed driving conditions, Motorways Towns, A roads, B Roads etc.

The last Scoob I had, I can't remember putting in much water and, oh yes, little bit of oil each week, not even 1/8th of a pint.

It's done 20,000 miles, is 16 months old, serviced spot on, K& NN Panel Filter, Garret 28 series blower, Remap, Sports Back Box.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks.


Kind regards

Expnsion tank failure is common on Classics. So common that I know one dismantler who keeps two or three new ones in stock at all times!

Check your rad for leaks/holes, follow the water pipes from the rad and check for holes, degrading.

Hope that helps

Radiators are common for leaks. Take a look around the offside between the tank and rad core
