Big water leak back of engine
« on: 27 June 2009, 18:47:18 »
Lost 2 litres in 1/2 hour of driving - air con well on (18c), last couple of days used very little water but less air con (21c).

My coolant bridge washers are knackered.

Could it be anything else?

Was wondering if it could be HBV?

Even though it seemed fine

normally most likely, but seeing as you've done some work around there, you need to investigate

It could be from the transfer pipe which runs from the radiator hose on the left, to the rear of the engine.
