vr6 water loss

[petervr6 0]

hi, firstly i just noticed another similar thread,

but think this is a slightly different case and didnt want to thread jack...

my bro has been driving 70 miles each way to work , so 140 miles a day, for about 2 weeks, close to 900 miles a week, and went through 3 or 4 water tanks in them 2 weeks, ,

thers no signs of leaks, the temp gauge never goes above 90 once warm, theres also no smoke or water coming from exhaust,

he had the car about 6 months prior to this and has never noticed anything before,,,,

could this simply be due to the amount of miles he was doing?

car has done about 145,000

is due a service also.

and the chains have slowly started getting noisyer.

cheers ,

Worth checking/trying a new expansion tank cap, i've just replaced mine as the tank was emptying after 10 miles.

But failing that, you wanna do some proper checks on it like compression test, coolant system pressure test, check all hoses for signs of leakage
