Post by: PAUL MC on 10 March 2012, 18:40:27

hi all just bought 52 plate 2.2dti 110000 on clock,the problem is when i put the heater on eco mode water leaks out of what i think is the h.b.v, when i put the heater on auto mode it stops.do u think i'm ok to drive it on auto mode or is it just a matter of time before it packs in alltogether. is it a big job for a complete novice/how much roughly for a garage to fix ? thanks for any replies in advance;new to site so go easy on me ! ;)

Replace asap. Around £30-35 from VX. Easy enough to change, lives below driver`s headlight

HBV right at the front on a DTI, nice easy job in that location.
