    Hello i have an astra j 2009 1600 turbo and facing this issue living in greece i am getting the message for low paraflu after some weeks but qhen took it in opel garage they pressured it and disnt see a leak! Do u think by replacing the pipe with the thermostat would be the problem? Already changed the bottle and the sensor of the bottle

      I think you should use coolant dye to investigate external coolant system leak.

      @@robertbowes1001 Thanks Robert, in the end I had to fit the old broken thermostat that allowed flow, then removed the coolant temperature sender to get air out of the flange... refitted CTS, ran it up to temperature then blipped the throttle very high a couple of times and you could hear the air come out.......ive done countless coolant changes etc, this was a nightamare.

    Hi couldn't you just buy a new rubber
    Seal and change it ? As i can't find the whole housing to purchase at my usual stockists and they just sell the
    Rubber housing seal ? Any help greatly appreciated and great video by the way

      paul Macca hi I am in UK Kent too, you may use this www.ebay.co.uk/p/15031984468 stops coolant leaks. But if it’s major leak it won’t, best to check underneath the car.

      Cheers mate , and i looked
      Under the car and it's just a
      Small drip leak and i have ordered a bottle of the stuff
      You suggested and hopefully
      It may stop and do you pour it
      Into the reservoir? And is it ready mixed? Cheers again and
      Really appreciate your efforts.
      Thanks 😊 paul.
