    Hey guys, the coolant in my focas has been slowly getting lower Over the last year.
    The other day I turned the car off and could hear a bubbling noise coming from where the coolant tank is.
    Yesterday I started the car and heard a similar noise, like water going through pipes so I had a look at the tank and found that there's a small crack in it.
    I've to drive from Dublin to Wexford and just wondering if it is something that can wait a week to repair? I've orderd a new coolant tank online.
    Can I use duck tape or some adhesive to temperately seek it?

    Greatfull for any feedback thanks!

    Yep be ok,remember to add antifreeze mix 50/50 to system ,when fitting new tank as it will have been diluted by all the water added to top up.
