A friend has a W reg Vectra 2.0 TDi. A while ago it suddenly started to lose a lot of water - but in bursts. It would go several days wihout touching a drop then next day it would be empty. No puddles. No difference in the driving style or distances.
They had the head gasket done (obvious culprit) and it didn't happen again for a month or so. Then it did.
Now they've tried Radweld a couple of times - each time it stops for a week or three, then starts doing it again.
Runs fine, good mpg, no obvious drips, steam or puddles.
Any ideas?
