Ok, so i've been nervouse with my very fickle car since upping the boost and keeping an eye. I was sure it was leaking water after using it but its been wet all the times i've used it. Anywhoo, i used it this evening.

 

Had a REALLY nasty smell in the cockpit so got out and theres water pissing from the passenger side of the engine bay. Theres a metal elbow facing the ground coming from the fire wall?? Is that an overflow? It's only leaking with the heater on???

 

Tracked the smell down to the front end and the elec fan motor in front of the rad was blown up!!! it had an obstruction and wouldn't turn, so its burnt it's self out.

 

Are the two related as it's all happened at the same time??

 

Water dripping from the car was cold and didn't taste of anti-freeze.. It also didn't continue to leak driving home with the heater off..... Heater matrix????

 

Any help much appreciated as i REALLY don't want to miss Z008

Water more than likely condensation from aircon drain which is normal. Burning smell, well you explained that yourself lol

 

I think there's going to be a LOT more posts like this now the weather is getting better....

Thanks Andy, might pick your brain about a couple of things this weekend :D payed in Stella of course :D

could be the matrix pipes that go into the bulkhead, they're only about £9 each and easy to fit
