    Hello All,

    another week another problem

    bought a vw bora a couple of weeks back, love the motor but its really starting to give me problems...

    few things for context
    1.) the heater in the car works perfectly every time.
    2.) checked the oil in the car multiple times, no cream or soapy material anywhere
    3.) my car -> VOLKSWAGEN BORA (1J2) 1.9 TDI (101HP)

    so... first week of driving, I am guessing around 40~50 miles, 20 miles motor way (probably 80 ish mph) the car ran perfect until one morning when the coolant light came on. I checked the coolant level it was low, I topped up the coolant and started using the car.

    Another week of driving... this time around 120 miles with some motorway miles where I was working out how much juice she has in her... won't quote speeds.. come home.. perfect, next morning start the car.. coolant is low again. Decided it might be worth putting some stop radiator leak in it and hopefully it will solve the problem... open the radiator cap and for some random reason (guessing hot air ) the coolant level actually went up .. anyway I added the stop coolant leak and started to drive the car around....

    from reading on the website, seems the 130 and 150 bhp models have / are prone to head gasket failure around the 90k mark.. this is a 101hp model from 2001... with around 128k on the clock already. Is there anyway I can zero in on where the hell the problem is?

    Thanks AJ
