Chaps,
Just lost my water system fluid on the way home. Quick couple of questions if I may:
I had loads of steam, lost hot air from heater and cannot feel fluid in the pipes going to / from the rad. However my water resevoir is still full of coolant :? Does this sound normal ?
It appears to be coming from the bulk head area of the engine bay (I cannot see for certain as it is pitch black outside right now and i'll need to check it out in the morning). Who is a good supplier to use for water piping ? I am guessing Nissan, but do people use any other suppliers for water piping ?
Does anyone have a coolant hose diagram from a Haynes manual that might help me in diagnosing the faulty pipe (suspect the piping going to / from the matrix).
Lastly, am I looking at much of a job to replace the piping ? I've heard some nasty tales of Jap cars requiring "engine out" jobs to replace heater matrixes / pipes (300zx)
Any help / comments would be wicked.
Thanks chaps,
Swanny
