Hello all

I have a problem with my beloved T. Was driving through the nasho yesterday (why we didnt cruise yesterday perfect day) and I noticed a bit of water on my foot inside the cabin. Turned the vent to Feet and turned the heater on.. Woah coolant smell.

Went down the gong today and somehting has really sh!t its self. There is bugger all water inside the cabin but there is coolant leaking from around the middle of the gear box. So far in 100+ k of driving ive lost the radiator resovior worth of water.

Had a good look under the bonnet at the heater hoses all fine. I havent jacked it up yet. The car temp is fine and its still going well.

Heater core????

I thought the heater core's were more on the passenger side? And if they leaked, the carpet under the glovebox went all mushy.....

You said you had water dripping on your feet? Im guessing you were driving, and not tamara?

Yeah dude I was driving.. I just jacked it up.. Looks as if its coming from near the top of the box. Possibly near the Air con Pipe.

Mate it could even be a hose near the core. I have noticed a smell of it over the past month or so but now she's sh*t its self

Most of the service departments are starting to fill up cause its getting close to Xmas. We are nearly booked out for 2 weeks, and that's stretching every day.

Enjoy the Tiida mate!
