Is It MY HBV
« on: 18 May 2009, 17:35:54 »
Hi all,

Recently whilst driving my car I could smell coolant. Then, after a short trip out, I noticed a puddle of coolant under the car. I put my hand round the back and felt the HBV and it was wet.
What I can't understand is I have pressed "off" on the climate control and the leak seems to have dissappeared. Is this a common symptom of the HBV or am I barking up the wrong tree?
However, I am off to Rob's at the weekend and we'll change it anyway but should I expect an unpleasant suprise?

Thanks
Mike

Sounds like it to me :y :y :y :y

Not too bad a job to do TBH... Took me longer to get the wipers and scuttle off than it did to do the rest of the job, including re-assembly! ::) ::)

What threw me out was the fact that the leaked stopped when the heater / ac was off. I wasn't aware that this would be the case.

We are doing it Saturday and will probably take the plenum off and go in that way. Scuttles are a pain!

Thank you all for the advice.

It sure was my HBV.

Just got back from RobseyMV6's after we fitted a new one.

All seems OK now.

Thanks, as ever Rob.
