Hi Andy..hi everyone.
First of all andy thank you so much for all the
help! I'm really crap at DIY, or I would have attempted to fix this myself to be honest but as I gave this car to my brother with no issues and work full time..I really haven't had the time to go through the car again.
The mechanic said somebody probably just ripped the pollen filter base/cover off and thus the screw/spring clips/bolts whatever you want to call them have gone.
So I'm now just wanting to know how I can fix this or where i can get them from!
He's right now taken two bolts and just put them in there to keep it secure but said to me ideally I need to order a new set of spring clips or the set of the base/cover and spring clips.
The leak appears in driver side rear passenger footwell and front only and on passenger side front and back no leak whatsoever its dry!
Hi, my brother says it come with a red flashing light, he checks the coolant and it is low. Its not a consistent loss as sometimes it'll go 2-3 weeks and be fine, but then a red light and its low when he looks so he tops up...light disappears. The mechanic insists the car is mechanically sound and he checked for a leak and theres none from the engine and he says its simply a red flashing light meaning the car's low on coolant, I just don't get how it can drink so much coolant.
As I've said its now my brothers car so I have no idea about the cold level etc but I will have a look. I am based in Nottingham and I would happily pay a seat member for their opinion on the car and time as I'm at my wits end with the car and we really want to spend the minimum we have to after paying this mechanic £175 as the cars a 03 reg and 128k on the clock.
