Ibiza Cupra overheat...

[Leonb396]

Left my Cupra to warm up on idle as its been sat for a few days and stupidly forgot i'd left it running!

Came out to steam pouring out the bonnet, turned her off and opened the bonnet to leave to cool. Came back out and topped the engine up with water once she was cooler to see it running out of a plastic tube that goes from the top rad hose to the right side of the engine... Please tell me this is easily fixable?!

I can grab photos once my phones charged unless anybodys got an engine shot handy...

Just removed the flange. Couldn't see any cracks but it has a sort of 'inner skin'? which was crumbling away aroudn the o ring so hopefully it's just a case of replacing this!

cracked outlet - replace and go again... Check your fans work however, many dont
