car problem

triple nipple

Hi all,

Tia for reading.

Yesterday I picked up my car from the garage and all was fine. I'm sitting in the car listening to the radio and all of a sudden there is white smoke pluming from the bonnet.

I knock of the engine and see floods of water pouring from the bottom of the car.

Any idea what this could be???

Picked up after service?

Could be nice and simple like someone checked radiator and didnt put top back on.

A lemon, unfortunately.

Sounds like your cooler has sprung a leak. Straight back to the garage. Probably need to get it towed.

Don't drive it, it will destroy the car.

Sounds like coolant leak.

Yes just serviced. Oil was changed. I didn't see any lose caps?

Will need to get it towed then. Should the garage be looking after this issue or is it unrelated to the service I had done?

It could be a loose connection, burst pipe, expansion bottle, radiator.

You won't know till they check it over. Unless you can see where the flow has come from.

It could be it just went or it could have a connection to service but it will be hard to tell.

Could be a weathered hose, water pump or possibly the radiator got nicked by the mechanic (unlikely). You could top up the rad and see where its leaking., hose might have come off.
