Title: Water leak - where to check
Post by: Martin_1962 on 29 December 2009, 15:17:56

The car has developed a water leak.

All the below are recently changed this year

HBV
Head gaskets
Oil cooler
One LPG hose
Water pump
Coolant bridge washers and bolts

So where do I look next please?

One symptom, the windows seem to mist up easier than normal but carperts are dry

About a litre over a couple of weeks

Will check the LPG tee pieces as well as I had one split 2 years ago

Bit wet & cold for that. (and now dark)

I wonder if JV6CDX wants a look while I repair his fob ;D ;D ;D ;D
