car is a 1.9 cdti 120 bhp Vauxhall vectra Exclusiv.
I drove about 10 minutes for about 3 minutes to get my car home it is leaking from one of the four bolts on the front coolant pipe on 1.9 cdti 129 bhp engine . This happened after I replaced the pipe so might need new gasket or seal the gasket down again .
I topped the water up as I was setting off and I left the cap off , the temperature gauge was right at the bottom ( takes about 10 miles on these engine for the temp gauge to move ) but during the journey home the temperature didn't move it stayed in the safety zone but the coolant light was on .
The coolant bottle was obvioulsy empty by the time I got home and the bottom of the bottle looked a bit bubbly/frothy.
Thanks
