As some of you will know I had a problem with my Doblo loosing a small amount of coolant. Just recently, I drained it all and put fresh anti-freeze in because there appeared to be none in there. Now the past 2 months I've noticed that my front mats and carpet were wet - constantly! I put it down to a leak from the outside that was getting in, and due to the rain here lately and the big flooding puddles that it was getting in through the footwell. No problem I'll do it over Christmas.
Yesterday I went to wire in the adaptor for my iPod into the Doblo and noticed that it was REALLY wet in the footwells. Upon closer inspection with the dash apart I could see an orange liqid dripping from the heater radiator/heat exchanger (whatever you want to call it) which is situated behind the heater controls... So this is where my coolants been going! Right into the footwells, the smell is terrible and the mist on the windows is unbelieveable. To do such a job is a big one, involving removal of the whole dash including the metal dash support bars, the whole heater system and most of the engine compartment to get at the two pipes going into the cabin.
I'll be on the phone to Fiat in the morning in the hope that this is covered under warranty - Merry Christmas Oz
