My sisters '02 Jetta 2.0l is leaking radiator fluid as fast as it gets put in. Its leaking from two locations. The first is from a hose to the right of the motor. This i can see.




But the second one is coming from behind the motor and I cant pinpoint exactly where its coming from.




Does anyone have any experience with this or can tell me where the second leak may be coming from? The car cant move a mile without overheating.

I work on Mitsubishis and Toyotas, VWs are a real pain in the ass so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Follow the coolant lines and see where its coming from. Spray some soapy water on the lines and look for the bubbles.

 

this first one is VERy common to fail, you need this part here: UroTuning.com - Parts for VW Audi Porsche BMW

The second one is hard to tell. could be a bad hose or something.

Also, it looks like GREEN coolant is being put in the car?? if so that is the WRONG coolant and can lead to premature corrosion of the head. You need PINK G12 coolant.

 

Yeah I cant quite get to where the second one is leaking from, hard to tell. Ill pass that along Justin, thanks for the info.
