Hi guys
This morning I took my car for a long drive today on route to local my supermarket, I wasn't in there long but when I came out I noticed water underneath my car. I didn't think much of it as I thought it was water from a car being cleaned front of me in the car park. When I was driving home 5 minutes into the journey the coolant alert popped up on the dash board and was showing the needle on maximum (120). It took me 5 minutes to get home after that, I checked the coolant and it was completely empty.
When I brought the car 7 weeks ago I had a PPI done and there was coolant issues the dealer replaced the rad (not sure about the pipes).
I have already contacted the dealer and they are calling me in the morning to arrange to pick the car up to repair the issue/s.
My question to you experts- within that 5 minutes I drove the car after the alert came on would I have done damage to the engine?
Thanks
