I posted a few weeks ago about my coolant level constantly going down but no leaks that I could see. Thank you to everyone that responded. Here is what was happening: There is a bleed screw in the heater under the back seat. This was leaking. The heater sits in a well and has a wooden cover so when it leaked it didn't show under the seat. The coolant was running under the carpet and soaking into it. I never noticed this because I have a rubber bottomed rug in the back. The other day the carpet must have got to saturation point because the coolant started running out of the bottom of the van. It was coming out in lots of places, I am assuming it got into some box sections and that was dispersing it around the underside. A $2 part from the local VW dealer and it's all fixed. That's if it doesn't find a new way out now. Melvin |
