Coolant loss '08 RRS tdv8

[Leo]

Hi guys! Been a while since I was last on here..

The RRS has been doing well, touch wood, but over the last year or so, I've had to top up coolant every couple of months or so.

Took it to the indy (in Perth) where we get it serviced, they did a pressure test, which 'failed'. They reckon it could need a new head gasket soon, which is a body-off job that will cost me serious money.

Anyone experienced similar coolant loss in a tdv8?

Cheers!

Why is taking the heads off a body off job?,get a second opinion. Pat

What Pat says !

I don't know anything about the tdv8 cooling system but if it is anything like my petrol v8 cooling system there are a lot of stupid plastic parts that can leak slightly under pressure and some of the hose clips are rubbish and need to be replaced with screw type (fuel system) clamps. I've had periods of loosing coolant due to cracked plastic and leaking clamps - not sure if any relevance to you but there it is and HTH !
