Kia Picanto Coolant Problem

[Neelu Tyagi]

Hi

I purchased kia Picanto last yr with 23,500 milegae from Kia dealer. He had serviced fully and also told me its under manufacture warranty till the end of yr.I had driven 5000-6000 miles on that...
Couple of wks back it shown me the temprature warning light when i start my car , I found that coolant is less..So i filled the container with coolant..
2days back we have to go for long drive...so i thought better checking everything before we go..And i was surprised to see that coolant is again low..in 2wk coolant from full went to low...I filled the container with coolant again...And started driving...After 20 minutes ...the engine light starts blinking and then the temprature light came on..I stop the car on the side .when i open the bonet , i found the coolant was boiling...then the accelerator went free...
I called the breakdown service they tow us to home...

But i m so surprised that i purchased this car approx new, straight from garage so that we have peace of mind...but in less than 1 yr i found 2 problem and now this one which is worst...
I m really scared...now not knowing whats the problem , how much its gonna cost to me....

it could be many things. if you see no leak check the oil. if there is a mayonase type substance on the cap then the cylinder head gasket may have blown. eventually the water will gush into the engine, warp the cylinder head and damage the internals of the engine costing 1000's. Fill the water up, drive straight to a dealer and part ex for a new one!
