It has only been over the last month or so it and i no the water will go down quicker as i have the heater on! but its running out quite fast at the mo. I filled the water up on sunday and it was empty by thurs?? It has been to a mecanic but they couldnt seem to find any thing wrong with it. They said it wasnt leaking from the outside. Its going in for a service in 3 weeks and i will mention it to them then. But i was wondering if anyone has any ideas of what it could be? if not its no probs but wld be good if anyone had ne ideas! Thank you | ||

Check the oil and make sure its not gone creamy, it will look a bit like yoghurt if its leaking into the engine. Do you notice any steam after you have driven the car? I used to get some steam from the radiator after a journey on cold mornings. Turned out to be a small leak that BMW sorted out. | ||
