Hi,
I took my Series 2 piece of **** for a 500km holiday (250kms each way) and on the way back i could smell coolant. Everything looked normal on the temperature department so i kept going. When i got home i turned on the airconditioning and it was rank, strong smell of coolant so i checked the carpets on the passenger side for any leaks to which it's all dry.
I have a suspicion the heater core is leaking but if there is no wet carpet where the f*ck is the coolant going? Are there any other tests to determine if it's the heater core?
Yes, the car is only 1.5yrs old and done 25,000Kms so will be a warranty claim however they can't get it in until later next week, not sure if i should be driving it.
