#car #heater not working and #coolant not visible in reservoir but hot engine and cooling fan running for some time after stop... Last mechanic invoice (<250km ago) lists 0,5 l antifreeze.
Heating was working without issues two days ago.
Surprize coolant leak - yay!
Is it a hose? Is it the radiator? Is the engine toast?
The car was cheap and in relatively good condition. It was driven <10000 km in the last 7 years, so got an oil change and Inspection every ~1500km.
Its surprising how good and reliable my 27 year old #vwgolf works vs. this 17 year old #renaultscenic . I bouht the #vwgolf at age ~23 years with ~35000km and all sorts of plastic parts, ignition coil, light bulbs and other stuff failed shortly after, just due to age. Now the #renaultscenic goes through the same process... Lets hope this phase of finding out what parts did not age well will not lead to an endless rabbit hole or wasted time/money. After all, both cars were 1st owner, garage cars.
