Hi Guys

My daughter has a A3 1.8t mtm. 180k

It has recently started to use water at about 1/2 a litre per few days.

I changed the cambelt -waterpump and thermostat in the hope that maybe the waterpump had died,but the car goes well but still uses water.

Tonight I had it tested for a head gasket leak which proved to be ok, and there are no physical signs of external drips

Your thoughts please

Anything else I can check?

Cheers

One of the plastic fitting will be leaking, if its just got pain water in it too it will be much harder to find it.
Glycol on the other hand will show leaks pretty easily.
