hey hey, question time...
first of all... i seem (well not me personally, but the cinq) seem to be leaking coolant slowly. i think however i found the problem, the little valve just to the right hand side, as u look at it, of the battery seems to leak constantly... there is a bluey / white power like substance all over it and over the pipe below it... how easy is this to change?
also, since taking off the large section of sound deadening in the engine bay, i can smell something a little off, it smells hot, as if somethin is close to burning? is this a normal engine bay smell and i have only noticed it cause there is no insualting there? or maybe oil vapour? no idea.....
also, she seems to get a wee bit hot, upto 91, 92 degrees virtually every drive, the fan does kick in and cool it down to 88 ish, and i usually only hear the fan when parking up, not usually when driving, unless in traffic of course! is this a little on the hot side, even for a 1242? and could the slight coolant leak be makin it worse?
cheers....
