Loss of Coolant:

5. Water hose split: Identified by rising steam from the engine compartment. Slight splits can be repaired with insulation tape. Drive without radiator cap to keep the pressure in the system down, to the nearest service station.
6. Ignition or carburettor incorrectly adjusted: Adjust accordingly.
7. Water pump inoperative: Overhaul or replace water pump.
8. Cylinder head gasket blown: Replace the cylinder head gasket.

Loss of Coolant:

1. Radiator leaks: Slight leaks may be stopped by using radiator sealing compound (follow the instructions of the manufacturer). In emergency a raw egg can be cracked open and poured into the radiator filler neck.
2. Hose leaks: See under 5, "Overheating".
3. Water pump leaks: Check the gasket for proper sealing or overhaul (replace) the pump.

Long Warming-up Periods:

1. Thermostat sticking in the open position: Remove thermostat, check and if necessary replace.
