no it doesnt, its probably becasue you havent changed your anti freeze often enough. its rust from engine parts. antifreeze has a rust inhibitor in it.

good I didnt think it could be major cos the engine itself is running like a dream apart from some water leaking in which I think is the heater matrix I have posted another thread up about this if anyone can help thanks for helping me lads

what exactly could this mean ?


nah its just componants in the engine rusting due to exposure to water, totally harmless tbh.

Might be worth getting some radflush and get ur water system totally flushed out but other than that not car life threatening!

Could be rust, as your rad is made of metal. Seen this before.
