hi all, ive read where a leaking heater can dump a bit of water on the floor..would it also mist my front window up only on left hand side, and steam out the vents.. because thats the three things she is doing... any thoughts cheers.....

 

Yes

 

Sounds like a leaking heater core.

 

Yes it can,but are you loosing any coolant?

 

coolant bottle is always needing topping up and orange light is always on..been that way for ages , just went out and had a look, shes empty again..the problems with the water and mist have just started last two weeks or so ....

 

yep, under the windsheild fluid res. replace tubung and caulk arround

 

????

the steam and mist are signs of a leaking heater core. it can be time consuming to replace as the dash must be moved to get the heater case out to replace the heater core but it can be done if you choose to tackle it on your own... it can be a bit pricey at a shop but either way it does sound like a leaking heater core.

 

thanks guys , will have a look over weekend.. will the core need replacing, better get a new one before i go pulling it to bits.....just another thing on the list..dam had it down to just the rear main seal to do and one axle seal to do..

 

wish me luck ,im having a shot at this today.....

 

so the dash has to moved, man thats a lot of **** to undo...

There'd be more write ups over at NAXJA, but I'm not sure if this forum is big on posting links to competing sites. Good luck.
