Recently the cabin of my fg has smelt like coolant (6 weeks roughly) and today coolant started leaking badly onto driveway when I started car, coolant was dripping from gearbox area. (Manual) could not spot leak as I couldn't get underneath car I'm thinking it might be a failed heater core. Carpet of drivers side footwell is also damp and has been for some time. Car is driven maybe driven twice a month. Any feedback before it goes to ford dealer in the next 2 weeks , thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
