yeah, so I'm all happy I got my timing belt and water pump done at such a cheap price..by a dealer, thing is...now I'm losing coolant, so I guess tuesday I'm going to be calling the dealer to setup an appointment to fix whatever they didn't get right...

now my question is: is it safe to just top off with water until they squeeze me in? I know it's ok with non-G12 cars for short term, but even the bentley seems pretty firm about ratios of g12.

Ah, come on! As long as you don't let it freeze, no problem.

BoneDaddy

cool, not going to freeze all week here

so you just need to add more.

definate leak, coolant trail in the parking spot every morning.

unrelated, likely aux coolant pump.

front, this post was more of a b!+ch session and to make sure that using water was ok if I need it

that is the number one suspect, especially since you have a new water pump which should really not be leaking. That little plastic pipe (about 1/2" dia and 1" long, with an o-ring near each end) cracks and leaks....had to do mine recently..(possibly caused by unexpected seat swap).
