[QUOTE="ottis, post: 738274, member: 18798"] The first indication given was when the radiator indicate light was on for a few minutes then it went off. Upon checking the radiator tank before bleeding was done, the thermostat indicator indicated the water level was low. After bleeding was done the thermostat raised itself. Then the mechanic filled it water in full. First problem resolved when the hose was replaced. Pressure test was done. Similar problem (2nd time) occurred ie. radiator light went on and off, upon checking the O ring was replaced. Pressure test was done and showed no leaking was found. At this point the mechanic advised that if the samething happen then it had to be the gasket and he reckons that should solve the leaking problem. [/QUOTE]
