Leaking thermostat

Post by michael.g.miller »

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.

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.

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.
