June 14, 200322 yr Just took the car out for a good thrash. (Just discovered locking it down and redlining in first then second, then going to drive really makes it shift ;) ) Anyway got back and there was coolant pouring out the front drivers side of the car with a lous hissing. Engine temp had been half all the journey. I think this is fairly normal for Zeds to jettison coolant when the pressure builds, but I'm not sure. Here's a vid to show what it was doing. Is this normal or is it bad?
June 14, 200322 yr Of course it's not the norm. I'd investigate further if I were you. There will be a puddle of water under the car after a long run but that's condensation from the air con condensor not the cooling system. And, no i haven't downloaded your vid as it's 4mb and I'm on narrowband :D Tim
June 14, 200322 yr Oh ok, I better get it checked out then :( Bugger I was hoping it was supposed to do that ;)
