Hi, was out in my Mk 2 1.8t tourer for a ten minute round trip to the shop on the way back the temperature gauge went right to to top ,red light showing and fan came on, steam coming out of the bonnet, got home immediately, switched off , opened bonnet fan, continued to run for couple of minutes. Coolant forced out of header tank cap and hissing out of bottom right bolt of four that looks as if attaches manifold to turbo .Looks exspensive.Why would water be coming from turbo bolts if this is the problem ,and does anyone think it`s HGF? I`m thinking the worst. I haven`t attempted to start it at all. Any advice would be much appreciated,Regards Paul
