Citroen c4 1.6 HDI waterleaking problem

Post by joacom »

Hello guys

My car started leaking from behind the engine, i removed the egr and egr cooler becouse it looked like the water was coming from this area, but its not, its a small hole in my engineblock where the water is dripping out. I created a youtube video of it Hopefully with this info somone could know what to do!¨




Thank you for all answers!
Joakim

Just want to let everyone know I got in contact with an mechanic that told me this is a FREEZEPLUG / Coreplug. Its made so if the wather freezes inside engine it will pop out, unfortunately they sometimes fails... (like mine)...

Usually an easy fix if accessible. Done loads when refurbishing Imp engines.

That's a real annoyance! That will be a 10 minute fix once you've removed the engine to get access!!!
