Water leak

[Chris M]

My small water leak has just decided to get bigger, would have to happen just when i decide to take my car for a run up to scotland! It looks like its coming from the heater valve,has 2 hoses going to it, 1 to the heater matrix and one to the hop hose. That sound right? Does anyone have a part number for them or know how much they cost?

Cheers,

Chris

Its near the radiator,got an electrical plug on the back of it and its made out of metal with two pipes to it. Not sure if its called the heater valve. Just looks simular to the ones fitted on Porsches.

I think you are talking about the electrical secondary water pump !!!
this one works after the stop of the engine wen it gets to a certain temerature.. it works with the fan.
