cooling liquid leak

[Gadgetman]

No, the filler cap is on top of the reservoir.
(On some systems, the reservoir is next to the radiator, or even the radiator itself)

If there's a cap by the bottom hose it's a drain plug.

Thanks gadgetman Nyt sommeren!

Found the leak. it was behind radiator as i suspected. Not a pretty sight.
New one going to be put on later today

Does anyone have a quick answer for what type of coolant is the best for my car?
Berlingo 2005 mod, 1.4i Petrol
7.5 litres 50-50?

I would use the ethylene glycol type, for your climate 50/50 may be a good idea.

In Australia there is no risk of freezing so we can easily go 33/67.

Thanks mate!
Just got 4 litres concentrated glycol (red).
I'm gonna flush the whole system, just to be sure, cus the one that is in right now is bright green.
I have opened the tube from container, the lower big tube and the top tube. Anything more i need to open before flushing?

Your thermostat housing might have a brass bleeding screw with 5mm internal hex head. If you can find this, open it - or when flushing with pressure you can remove it completely for a few seconds.

quick question. Where is that thermostat housing on this car?
All new to me this Berlingo
It is a 2005 mod multispace 1.4i with AC

Here's the one from about 2001-2005:

And the later type:

In both situations, look at the parts numbered 3 and 4.

All done Very happy for this forum.
Kinda unsure when starting fixing on a car i never "seen" the engine on before
But new radiator on place, leak stopped, and test ride on 6 km showed max 95c on the temp (but it is very hot here in my part of Norway now)
40c in the sun, and around 29 in the shadow..phu
Thanks all! )
