Hi ppls.

About 2 month ago i started my car in the morning, and heard the annoying 3 beeps, and the temperature lamp began flashing.

I switched the car off, then on again - this time no beeps no lamp.

Of course, I went to check the coolant level and found out that it is only about 1/4 of the tank. Naturally, I topped it up and forgot about it.

Then, after about 2 weeks the same scenario.

I checked the system for leaks (visually only), and found none. Also checked the oil cap for the oil/coolant mixture (ppl call it "mayonaise"), but lucky me - found nothing.

The coolant level still drops, i have to refill it about every 2 weeks.

Oh, and another thing - i think there is a smell of coolant under the hood after almost every drive.

Where else could i check ? Any ideas?

Thanks for your attention.

Hi

I have found that there are quite a few Fabia`s with the rad fan switch loosing coolant.

It will be down to the seal.

I believe this to be on the left side at the bottom of the rad.

You will see if it is leaking as you will see the crustations around the switch

You were absolutely right, it was the switch.

I'm going to fix it this friday.

Just get a seal from your dealer, very common indeed.
