Markoos Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 its very hard to tell, we did an engine change last night. when it 'steams' the inside of the window up it doesnt smudge like oil when i try it off although i do have to apply preassure like it its just water steaming Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 wow......how many engines? and how many heads? All the pipes connected up right? defo something to do with the engine compartment you`ve never had any issues with your heater matrix before Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wantaglanz Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 touch the water with your finger and taste a bit, if it tastes of antifreeze (sweet sharp horrible taste) then it will be your heatermatrix or a leaking pipe mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
