Sorry lads if i'm being thick but ''tasting'' the coolant  :-\ :-\

Not a problem mate - just a bit on tip of your tongue won't kill you  ;)


 Make sure you have a good extra strong mint near by LOL

sorry what i meant was we dont use the button with A in a circle. But we do use the temperature knobs and lately have it below 16 degrees on low. So can i still expect water to come out near back of the engine? :-)

is there no other way? lol
Its the best way.  No worse than some Austrian wines, if you're gay enough to drink wine ;)

Its a good test between oil, water and coolant.


A/C won't drip water if off, and condensation doesn't build up.

Is ECO lit up on your climate panel. That means AC is disabled. ECO not lit means AC enabled.
