Engine runs cold, takes forever to heat up & there is a significant cooling leak
Car: 2001 Volvo S80 T6 Excecutive
First problem...
First symptom: Engine takes forever to warm up.
Second sympton: When traveling at highway speeds, the engine runs colder.
Third symptom: When it's cold outside, below 35 F, the engine never warms up, runs very cold.
My guess: Bad thermostat...
Next problem...
Really bad leak, have to refill coolant resovoir every 30/40 miles, getting worse.
Already replaced a hose, and checked the connections.
Seems to be coming from water pump but not sure.
My guess: Bad water pump.
Any insight into these issues/are they related? Thanks!
