Hi I recently purchased a VY and havent had any problems for a week or so, now ever since i turned on the aircon the car heats up and begins to overflow brown transparent liquid. Now even when the aircon isnt on the car still overheats and overflows. Any feedback or comments would be much appreciated.

is it coming from the overflow bottle? Coolant is meant to be green. Maybe it needs a flush and new coolant and also someone to check that the radiator is not blocked?

If purchased from a dealer then you may have a warranty claim. If not, then off to see a Radiator Specialist, have them pressure check your cooling system. They will know what the problem is and how to repair.
