Last night got a very heavy waterleak above passenger side turbo and running down side of gearbox when engine is running. Totally inaccessible I cant even see the leak source under the car.

 

I think it needs to be towed to a garage and gearbox dropped to get to. Any Z garages near Surrey / S.London im SM2 area.

 

Thanks

sounds like a pipe under the plenum has given up:sneaky2:

Does removing the plenum give any access down the back of the engine ie to hoses

A plenum bypass which does away with using all those crappy little water pipes under the plenum and takes a water feed straight from the metal pipes that feed the matrix at the back of the engine to each turbo can be done with the plenum in place , the battery will need removing and you,ll get a few scrapes but it,s quite a simple job once you get your head round which pipes need to be connected to and from the tubs .

There,s only three you have to do , on the O/S tub the straight metal pipe going to the tub is a feed or return .HTH
