Good evening peeps! I come seeking knowledge and enlightenment! A few weeks back I changed the main rad, thermostat, water pump and belts on my Td6 vogue as the rad had a hole in it. The operation was successful and the cooling system was struck off of my lengthy Rangie to do list! That was until last night when I went to jump in and go to work only to find a wee puddle underneath! After I'd stopped crying and self harming I had quick once over under the bonnet but it was dark and I was sucicidal!!!
So this morning I dropped the splash pan and got the inspection light out. Everything was caked so I spent a while degreasing and drying everything. Gave it ten minutes and got back underneath. To my amazement it was nothing to do with my handy work! No loose clips or nipped pipes But I could see coolant dripping off the rear of the air con compressor. (My compressor is knackered and had no belt on it)
Now this may be a daft question but does the coolant run through the compressor? Or can anyone think of what would be behind there that could leak?
Granted I need to jack it up to get directly underneath as it was only up on the airbags.
Any winning suggestions paid in beer tokens!!
