    coolant loss

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys, lately been noticing I have been losing some coolant. Today i topped off with some distilled water I had (didnt have any g12). I was letting the engine idle w/ac on while i was fixing a wire that popped off in my radar detector install. When I was finished I turned off the car got out and noticed a hissing/spitting/leaking noise. I looked underneath and it looked like coolant was leaking, popped the hood and the noise appeared to be coming from the middle-rear of the engine, towards the firewall. Could anyone point me in the direction of specific likely places that could be leaking? I think I remember hearing something about this area before.

    Thanks very much for replies!

    Inspect the coolant flange. Here's a very detailed thread of A4 TSCHUSS and his coolant leak. And he did a DIY in the last post :
