I posted a while back about my heating not working, fan was coming on fine, but even set to Hi, was blasting out cold air. I flushed the matrix myself, flushed the coolant myself, then got the garage to flush both for me as well. Got slightly lukewarm, but that was about it.
I noticed yesterday that I had a trail of drips leading up to where I parked the car at night, and I thought it might be an oil leak, but when I checked this morning it wasn't oil and the oil level was fine, but when I looked at the coolant it was half empty.
Does this sound like a split pipe to anyone? I'm taking it if this is the case it would affect the heating as well?

Wish it was that easy or I'd have fixed that ages ago on my Mig. :)
I think you'll find that the trail of drips was condensation coming off the aircon unit. If the coolant was leaking out that fast, you'd have soon overheated.
Might be wrong though, and if I am I'm sure someone will correct me hehe.

not necessarily - he has lost half an exp tank of coolant. Given the heating problems I would be having a close look at the HBV..
