After my DPF irritations last month (which turned out just to be the cars normal behaviour) I now have come across a real problem.

A lovely coolant leak, or what seems to be anyway, can't think what else.

The missus got back yesterday and said there had been a leak where she parked when she drove off. So had a look under the car and sure enough there was a steady drip (1 ever 5-10seconds or so), this was a warm engine but not running.

So I started it up, gave it some revs and nothing much changed to the amount dripping, until i turned on the heater, then it was pouring out. The drip is coming from pretty much central in the car, just behind the engine bay.

Collected some and it was clear, not pink, but the coolant level in the tank has dropped significantly as well.

Assuming this is some sort of leak into the heater? I've seen someone else had a bit of trouble with pipes into the heater matrix, this gonna be costly for me?

Getting a bit fed up with this Bravo now it has to be said :(


Cheers,
Mark
 
had a lick? if it is sweet tasting its antifreeze, your coolant level could have been low a long time and doesnt necessarily mean its leaking now, still if your heather matrix started to leak, dashboard needs to be taken out
