 |
|
Hello again,
just a quick question, at the weekend I noticed the car was dripping water from the engine, I didn't check where from but having had the climate control on for long periods I assumed it was related, as it doesn't drip under normal conditions, I thought it might be a condensation thing or I could be talking out of my *beep*. Is this normal or should I investigate further?  |

| unless youve been through a deep puddle or had youre winscreen washers on for a while there shouldent be any dripping at all, check it out asap ,probly the water pump, though thats just a guess, check to see if youre loosing any coolant, or anything like that, the aircon is filled with gas and wouldent leak any fluid, hope this helps |

| When you use the aircon the way it works it will condense the water from the air this is what is dripping down its quite normal . Mine was in for a MOT on monday and the engine running with it up on the ramp and it was dripping all over the mechanic. He He |
