this mornign i couldnt de-mist the windows.
It was so cold, i put the heaters on and blew then to the floorpan... well, the car just filled full of steam! all the way to work.
Im worried either pressure has built up int he system and blown something on the heater matrix or something else.
One thing i did do is splash then engine with water as i needed to take the air out of the system, opened the bleed valve and coolant came out, so simply washed it off. Im hoping some water got in somewhere and its not a leak...
ideas?
chest hurt when i got in, breathing in coolant steam!
Steam coming out of air vents

Barrs will certainly do the job for a while. It is in my 2.1TD. I still get an occasional whiff from it but water consumption is nil.
I have a new problem with the Activa though. When the blower is running very fast, I get fine white dust coming out of the vents No idea what it is. I've put a new pollen filter in and it is still happening. Methinks the matrix is corroding externally and it's aluminium dust coming out...

Oh, please no My latest xantia had a lot of dust around the dash and when I ran the blower full speed yesterday, a mini dust storm of fine white particles blew out of the vents.citrojim wrote:I get fine white dust coming out of the vents No idea what it is.

This could be caused by mineral buildup around the leak in the heater matrix.MikeT wrote:Oh, please no My latest xantia had a lot of dust around the dash and when I ran the blower full speed yesterday, a mini dust storm of fine white particles blew out of the vents.citrojim wrote:I get fine white dust coming out of the vents No idea what it is.
