Coolant leak CRD 3.0L

Yeah I highly doubt I'd get anywhere with that mate. Even though the service manager admitted him self right in front of me they do one a week.

Sucks mate

Hi mate. My Di was an engine out job both times. I don't know about common rails. Seeing this thread makes me a bit uneasy again... Well keep an eye out on this.
Seems like the other patrol forum has a fair few crds go through this drama.

Thanks for the heads up mate. Few other shops Iv'e talked to, said it is not an engine out job, and quotes varied from 1800-2000 for a fix.

I just want to make sure I'm checking this the right way. The bottle circled (non pressurized one) is where coolant should be checked once engine is fully warm ??? I'm gonna keep a closer eye on it from now to see just how much I'm losing over a period of time ...

The amount your losing Eric I wouldn't waste anymore time worrying about it. The conclusion seems to be an expensive one, so just make it part of your routine checks to make sure you have coolant in the (NON) pressurized bottle.

They didn't pull the engine out on mine. I was just going to leave it but it just got too bad a leak and figured a cooked engine was going to cost me a hell of a lot more 😥

I'm not keeping an eye, and track on exactly how much I'm losing roughly. After a cold night, like last night for example, in the morning, there is heaps off coolant leaked out.

Well, I think my problem just grew exponentially... Get out this morning to find this under the car. S#itloads leaked out, out of the same area. Safe to say that the hot days / cold nights we've been having didn't do too good on the metal and the gap widened. Happy new year to me!

Damn mate, sorry to hear! That looks to be a fair amount of coolant that's been dropped overnight - qty wise, has that now completely emptied the reservoir tanks?
