My B5 probs are ongoing, usual thing cash is a very tight and things then gather up and fail all at once! I need my car to travel the 70 mile round trip to work every day. So any suggestions on the best way or order to get the following fixed, or do I put the money into a cheap runner with the risk of inheriting new probs.
Cheers Jonny
- Last night ice has burst the radiator, hole must be too big for radweld to fix (not that I hold much hope in it anyway) thought I had enough antifreeze in there but obviously not!
- There is a water leak where coolant pipe comes from the top of the rad and enters the block between the injectors, gasket gone?
- Indicators do hazard lights up or down - Stalk or hazard switch
- Fanbelt is starting to fray so should I do timing belt, waterpump and thermostat too?
- 152000 miles on the clock, so timing belt due soon anyway? 160k is it?
- Oil temperature gage has never shown a reading is that dangerous?
- and finally.... water temperature usually displays about 60-70 degrees according to the gage and climate code 51 display trick (lazy/faulty thermostat?)
