Seems to be putting 0.5 ltr coolant every 2-3 weeks.
Put on a pressure tester, found it leaking a little from here.
Seems to be lots around the lower area of timing belt area.
I hope it is only leaking from here and not the pump gasket.
My question i want to remove the hose connector only and try and replace gasket but no part no. on Vida. I guess it's all 1 part.
Has anyone stripped their's down and maybe used a bit of liquid gasket etc.
Also want to look at thermostat too, i will check the operation tomorrow.

Update..... It was the water pump gasket. Replaced the lot when I changed the cambelt etc.
