Peugot 406 Diesel

My car has done 60k and is using about 1 litre of water every 1000 miles,
no sign of any leaks, recent new water pump fitted, is this normal?
Thanks for any advice.

 

Er, no

But before you start fearing the worst, if there are no leaks and you are
not being followed by a cloud of steam from the exhaust, it might just be
that that the cooling system wasn't filled properly after the new pump was
fitted. More expert people than me will no doubt tell you how the bleed it
properly, or a trawl through old postings to the group may help.

because it will boil if not bled correctly
however after a thousand miles it will be bled
take it back and get it checked
there may be a slight leak
but if its been fixed
in my opinion
it should be fixed
and thats coming from a guy who fixes them for a living

 

Do you write haikus as well? ;-)

 

you are of course
taking the piss
but its well done,withall

obviously hiakus seems to be beyond me my friend

 

That's pretty good for this time of the evening...

Yes, better than I could manage. How many syllables do they need?
