My coolant is leaking from my car, I’ve just put a new one in and it’s all leaked out. I was just wondering if the check up and repair costs will be covered by insurance?

Hi there,
If you are an AA member you may be able to have your vehicle towed to a workshop for diagnosis as part of breakdown cover. You can advise them that you have a warranty, but a diagnosis will have to take place before it can be determined if the issue will be covered by any warranty. Generally coolant leaks are not covered as most cooling system components are not considered mechanical and in often cases it can be age related and not an unforeseen failure. So just keep in mind that this may be something you will need to pay for- both diagnosis and repair.
