Hi guys,
So my rx8 has been rebuilt by a company in Alton (not sure if I can mention names) just over 3 months ago and only covered 205 miles since then, it's not even had the 500 mile run it yet however I'm really having problems even being able to drive the car and I'm in desperation for someone who knows these cars inside out to even possibly able to help me.
The car has been back to this company because the coolant was leaking, they told me in good faith they would solve the problem and they returned the car saying they replaced the coolant hose.
So I drive the car back from a friends in Chichester to Southampton with no problems however as soon as I pull up at the garage to put fuel in the car the whole coolant was emptied onto the floor with steam coming out the bonnet.
I let the car cool and filled it back up with distilled water and drove it around the corner to my house.
The next day I filled the car up with coolant by disconnecting the pipe near the back of the top of the engine and filled up the tank until full to the mark.
No coolant leaked out so. Started the car and it was still fine, after driving it for 10 mins it emptied again luckily I was outside my house.
The day after that I bought a new radiator from euro car parts and replaced it.
Filled the car up again with coolant and no leak again until 10 mins of driving... It empties so quickly with steam everywhere.. I was thinking the original radiator was blown however now I'm thinking it can't have been the rad and this new one can't have blown this quick.. We'll just after 10 mins of first time drive..
I'm just so confused as all the pipes looked fine as I obviously checked them :dunno:
