    Coolant all over the driveway :(

    Well it seemed like my car was going really well apart from having to bail it out before getting in... Now it's got another kind of water prob leaking from sewhere below the power steering pump, can't see where though and thehose to the WMani was replaced when the Ps pump was done a few weeks back anyway the ur got me to Wales in fine style despite the rain
    so where can the water be leaking from?

      Check your after run pump, the hose from the stat to the coolant pipe.

      Check the jubilees are tight on the main hose from rad to block

        also check the plastic insert on the block(at the back) if it is corroded. The ones that GT500 was to be making in alloy

            Worst case its the water pump itself, i have that problem in the S4 at the moment, not looking forward to a timing belt change in this weather

              Newsh shouldn't have the turbo one as he's running a 3071r turbo so he'd have a banjo braided pipe from the water manifold as part of the kit
