Guest frankyvr6 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Gday Guys/GalsI've got a '94 VR6 2.8 mark III golf, 4 door.It has developed a sudden, and concerning coolant leak, any similar experiences or advice on what is going on would be greatly appreciated.I have coolant leaking at a fast rate, I cannot find where it is coming from.It is not leaking from the engine bay from what I can tell, the coolant is coming right out from the AIR VENTS near the drivers pedals, and the passenger side foot vents. Drenching the inside of the car!Has anyone ever experienced a problem like this? What would you suggest?Thank youFranky from Oz Link to post Share on other sites

gav_113 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 quite cheap to buy £20-£30, bastard to fit, like said dash out jobby, if u cant be bothered take the two water pipes that go into heater matrix in engine bay and join them up with a piece of copper pipe and clips. least u will be able to drive the car without getting wet!!
