Hey all, as above. As of today I've lost all coolant from the system while driving. Just returned this morning from a full service and a stage one remap and 30 mins of the boat it starts to blow steam all over the road. I have had the coolant issues after having the pipes replaced 6 months ago but it's been a flash on the dash and then goes away, it has been slightly topped up over those 6months. I'm wondering has the remap and a handful of hard pulls has cemented the problem. Im %80 sure that the leak seems to be coming from above the alternator. I know it runs a liquid cooled unit and could possibly be a pipe undoing/splitting etc or the alternator itself. Just wondering has anybody ever come across the same issue..?? Many thanks.

Re: Not your average Coolant issues
It's known for the water-cooled Alternator to leak so if you think the leak is somewhere around that area I'd look at the Alternator first, "hopefully" to remove it from the list of suspects as it's a very expensive part to replace! There's a small hole at the rear which seems to where the leak will show it's self once the engine is running.

Found the issue, major stripping match to get access to alternator...
