Hi All, I’m getting through an alarming amount of coolant. The drip is constant while hot and coming from the centre of the car. There is a small pipe that is not connected to anything that is dripping. A couple of people have said it’s for the ac condenser. But I’m not so sure now as I’m losing so much water and this pipe seems to be the culprit. Does anyone know what this pipe is? Thanks

Heater matrix. Are you getting full temperature in the car ? Is there any damp inside ? Are both pipes to the heater matrix connected ?

There is a small pipe which drains condensed water from the a/c evaporator (inside the cabin) to underneath the car near the gearbox n/s. It

normally only drips water when the a/c is actually working. Is that the pipe you are referring to?

 

Coolant can be lost from the many rubber pipes (some small and difficult to see) that carry coolant water. What is the rate of water loss? Have

you checked around the engine and radiator for signs of water loss and/or coolant staining? Is the radiator cap secure and the overflow pipe

near the cap connected? There are two rubber pipes that run from the back of the engine via the firewall into the cabin for the heater. Are they

good? Are the carpets wet in the footwell(s)?

 

When the engine is running are you getting white smoke from the exhaust?

Yes that the pipe. Ive just got back in after putting in a litre of water and there is a slight drip coming from the ac drain pipe. Engine is cold btw. The carpets are all bone dry.

 

Will go for a blast tomorrow and see how I get on. Will pack plenty of water!

Found the leak. It’s a small pipe running parallel to the bulkhead that has a small stream that is dripping down the bell housing and along the exhaust tunnel and ends up dripping down the outside of the air con condenser pipe! Talk about a red herring pipe!!

Have found it. Small stream of water at the top of the engine to the rear. Heater feed has a tiny stream of water coming from it.

Thanks
