menace2society 0 Posted May 4, 2003 hi guys i took the car out for a long drive today, driving back from kingston and all of a sudden at a traffic light the endine starts to steam hardcore!!! this freaked me out big time, so i parked up and looked under the engine, water leaking like crazy. Luckily there was a garage about 50 yards away, was closed but security was there to help... he ckecked it out briefly topped up the coolant water cos it was empty (funny cos i topped it up about 2 weeks ago) and as we were doing this we could see water coming out where a peice of vacuum hosing attaches itself to the front of the engine somewhere!!!..left car there will go back tuesday to sort it out with mechanic...hope i dont have to replace the whole unit, could this happen due to a lack of coolant???? any advice much appreciated.. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 0 Posted May 5, 2003 Should just be able to replace the hosing. Should just be a case of a split hose. Probably just the hose that's worn away with age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
