john Beckwith Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I have been trying to have a look at the site to find out about the cooling / heating system. I have a nasty smell in the cockpit and the screens are misting up - I am thinking there may be a leak of fluid near the heater unit. If anyone has some pages regarding this area of the technical book I would be much obliged. Kind Regards, Johnb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Oh that sounds like your matrix has sprung a leak, how is your expansion tank, has the level dropped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Beckwith Posted February 6, 2002 Author Share Posted February 6, 2002 It's not a shoe wetting moment just yet - the expansin tank is still at a reasonable level. Is the only way in through the dash? Johnb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I am affraid so, I am not sure how much you have to take out to get at it, you may be lucky and find that it is only hoses. I only have an engine manual so cant help. Hoses enter the bulkhead behind the turbo's. Is it coolant you can smell, or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john Beckwith Posted February 6, 2002 Author Share Posted February 6, 2002 Not sure really, I am not in the practice of smelling the stuff! Originally I thought I was smelling the Cat after going through a big puddle - but what with the screen and constant smell (after running for a couple of mins when the heat comes in) I have pu it down to the heater. I have an NA - any idea how to locate the correct hoses from under the bonnet? Something has also started rattling in there........ Thanks for your help, Johnb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Sorry I don't know about location of hoses on the NA, but I think they enter lower down in line with the center of the block. You need to put this under a new heading to pick up more help, as we have had a few MKIV.com missing threads so people have got use to seeing it.

Guest Martin F Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 The pipes to the heater matrix enter the bulkhead just to the right of the block and slightly above the head. That's the right looking from the front of the car :biggrin: There should be two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
