Leaking thermostat
Has anyone had problem with the thermostat on an Austro engine leaking coolant? I've done a lot of replacement of O-rings / thermostat / water pump and still suffer recurring leaks.

Re: Leaking thermostat
I did not have a leak, but had recurring low coolant warning light. Aggravating, but temps always fine. At annual they added a tiny bit of coolant and pulled a vacuum on system. Problem solved.

Re: Leaking thermostat
Coolant leaks are mentioned in several threads here. I think if you search you'll find a variety of owners who have had that problem.
