If it is the head gasket, which by looking on a fiat forum their seems to be lots with this type of problem the white / creamy gunk can develop in a day. Check it just to rule it out really. Pressure test is definitely the way to go. It'll be cheaper than a big bottle of antifreeze which youre going to have to buy if you have to keep topping it up!

Thanks I will check it in a bit when I go out. It's costing me a packet in antifreeze! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengeek Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Could be something simple as a punctured hose, a loose clip or a deformed coreplug. Or it could be the dreaded headgasket. When our old Cinquecento went, it blew a hole in the header tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
