so difficult to see.

it looks as if coming from the lower radiator hose.

best way is to pressure the cooling system with 1.5 bar of air. by then, you clearly see the leak source.

Sleepwalker Thanks

Yesterday I had wipe dry that leak trail and top up the water coolant. What resulted the same water trail emerge from that corner of the Radiator. I even tighten the hoses yesterday.

How do I remove the radiator to gain a better view? It kinda bolted somewhere?


Kind Regards

I just saw leaks ocurring from both end of the Radiator & also a water trail on the pulley from the water pump. Is this a discharge by the water pump coz there is a cooling problem such as the leaking radiator?

Can I still top up to drive it to my mechanic to examine?

Default Engine mounts broken

Hi,

The mechanic have now replaced the Water Pump & new Radiator. Question is theRadiator look new from inside the engine bay but externally, where the 2 fans connected is still same. Is that the Air Conditioner/Heater Radiator?

Also mechanic spotted that the engine mount is broken. I know one mount already replace last Aug, coz when car put on reverse it vibrate tremondously, so only 1 mount replace is that the left or right mount. Now this mechanic say "Engine mounts broken". Is it that he observed one broken mount & concluded/assumed the "plural". Whats will occur if that one mount is not replaced?


Kind Regards
