Water Leak In Galaxy 09

[boney 12]

i have a 09 galaxy 1.8 deisel which has a water leak which no one can, find it seems to let go about 2l each time

after about 13 miles .

we had the head done water pump and the rad done but its still losing water now its down to 2 miles and 3 l of water?

4 garages can not find the leak

can any one help we are at our wits end....

Its a MK3 you have got so hopefully someone will move this to the right forum as the mk1/mk2 is a completely different car so its unlikely to find an answer here.

 

I'm surprised you can't see where its ending up given the amount though - It might be worth trying a pressure test on the system to see if you can find it while stationary if they haven't done so already.

The other possibility that comes to mind is a crack in the head or engine block thats opening up when it gets hot, though I'd expect you to be seeing this in the oil (mayonnaise like spots/level going up etc) as the water has to end up somewhere if thats the case.

 

Does the exhaust look normal?

have had engine pressure test done  exhaust is normal and no oil in water or water in oil going to try and do uv test in water to see if that will show

anything there.

but has had 2k of work done in jan this year its now driving us up the wall
