Coolant loss-No visible leaks! - 306 d turbo - 06-10-2012
My 306 is losing about 1 litre of coolant every 100 miles
there is no oil in the water or water in the oil
How can i test if it is headgasket leak?

coolant pressure test.
no wetness inside car?

Id just pressure test the head rather than coolant?
Screws into where the glow plugs are. Just temp disconnect the live to the stop solenoid to stop it from starting.
If they're all good then move onto the matrix at a guess
Could also leave a bit of card under the car overnight to see where drips come from

If he is loosing coolant I'd pressure test the coolant. That would say if he had a split pipe or dodgy end. Screwing on a pressure test cap is easier then removing glows lol
