flatmajor Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 hi all my friends xsara the coolant(water) has frozen and ive tried emptying it and it wont turn over, can anyone tell me how to solve this problem. ive put new coolant 50 50 mix it doesnt seen to crank just the starter motor going over. cheers Quote
techbod Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 until the coolant has thawed out DO NOT start or run the engine you WILL blow the head gasket, use a blow heater/hair drier and leave it under the bonnet until its warmed up completely, you wont have gotten all the ice out just by changing the coolant. when you say the starter motor just turns over? check the timing belt as the water pump will be frozen and could snap the timing belt Quote
