I'm in the process of looking for a car to buy. I went and looked at one tonight, and whilst carrying out an inspection of the car i found that the coolant liquid was a white creamy stuff, about the same thickness as cream.
I checked the engine oil and there was no white stuff there, so maybe not the gasget. There wasn't just a small amount of it, the whole coolant tank was full of this white creamy substance, looked a bit like emulsion paint. The car had only just been put through its mot, and was serviced 4 months ago.
Its a Vauxhall Astra 1.4i 16v Sport Hatch 2005.
What could this be, and would it cost much to repair, as I am still considering buying the car.
Many thanks!
