My 05 2.0 Hdi partner van dumped its coolant all over my driveway yesterday because the bleed nipple for the cooling system snapped off all by itself where the threaded bit meets the thermostat housing and blew out the coolant under pressure,luckily i saw it before i drove it very far,if i handnt im sure i could have fried the engine if i didnt notice the temp gauge rising..... I have to buy a new thermostat housing now as it cant be repaired properly(i araldited it temporarily)Apparently this is a common fault, anyone else have any experience of this...?
