coolant low......!

[Taxi_Driver]

Mine has a leak but I am worried I'll find a ripped hose - drips out slowly.

HBV would be nice as that is easy - I ought to check the jubilee clips under the HBV on the pipe to the rear of the engine first, but thats plenum off.

The Tee I can reach is nice and tight with no drips

Nothing to do with the water pipes you tee'd into Martin??
Mine leaks water as well.....tho im convinced it does it when it cools down, dunno why it does tho!
Last time i tried to find the leak.....i had it 7 foot in the air....with the engine running....1/2hr later not one drip!   Park it on my parents drive, which runs downhill, and usually theres a small puddle (50pence size) when i leave.

ahh...ok thats just down the road from me.....about ten mins.....

i've not long finished a three year electrical installation course at uxbridge....... that bloody collage is a joke...!!!!

I know what you mean - I went there to do the 16th edition but TBH the course was rubbish as well as the tutoring.  No resorces available etc.  Gave Up

Last year went there again (WHY?) to do my maths in an attempt to start on a route into teaching.  This was also an utter joke tutor could not speak clear English, could not operate a white board etc.  A total Joke and will not be going there again.

You are not far away from me in Hayes, I am near Yeading Library.  Cood luck tomorrow or Tuesday with the temp sender.

Its definately coolant and not condensate from the aircon ......

It is either HBV or the U shaped pipe from HBV to block as I had trouble cutting it

Unless you can get your wrist to bend at a 180 degree angle, i think you'll need to remove the Plenum.

Nice to hear that the leak is solved - good luck with reconnecting the temp sender connection.

never gonna belive this.......i managed to squeeeeeeeeze my hands round the back of the plenum, found the loose thermo wire, felt around for the sensor and after about 4-5 attempts managed to pop the little oppser on.......woooohooo

me....happy as a pig in shit........!!!

all i got to do now is get the AC fixed..... which is being done in about two weeks time..... just in time for winter...!

Most excellent Dude, you truly are da man.  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I usually find i can get my hand into places, but struggle to get back out.  

I'll manage to get you to remove that Plenum one of these days though.
