Help ! Possible AIR LEAK

[RonnieEssex]

where can I find a diagram of the vacuum hoses on my 1600cc petrol engine I think I’ve got an AIR LEAK .& being female I need help I fitted a new air intake hose but now the car is idling irratically when engines warm

Air intake configuration If No EML light on dash retighten all the hose clips & check any electrical sockets that have been disconnected ?

 

[RonnieEssex]

I’ve got no light come on at all but yesterday the ‘top up coolant’ warning came on but I filled it last week

 

[RonnieEssex]

Thank you

Coolant low warning light usually spells a leak & the main culprits on these Engines is the thermostat housing unless its elsewhere?
You never by any chance accidentally loosened any coolant hoses by mistake
Let me know if you need the diagrams for thermostat tank

 

[RonnieEssex]

Aww !!! Since I changed the air intake hose my thermostat isn’t working ... it normally sits at 90 but don’t move at all now .. yes please any help appreciated..

 

[RonnieEssex]

Bloody hell !! I’ve just checked ... al my coolant has gone

Assuming you have had no work done to the cooling system it might be the thermostat Tank leaking top up the bottle & warm the car up with the cap off but keep filling up as it goes down if it continues to lose coolant you need to check to see if the Tank is leaking but don't drive the car without coolant in the bottle
You will probably need to let a mechanic have a look at it to make certain its a system leak & not a blown head gasket hence the warning about driving it with an empty expansion bottle
Here is where the Thermostat tank is positioned below the Air intake pipes above gear box clutch housing
