Xsara picasso diesel hit bird

Unread post by xsara92 »

I hit a hen pheasant today at around 45mph and the bird went through the 'grill'.

Engine is 1.6hdi

Seems to have caused some damage :( though I've not noticed engine trouble...yet

Can anyone tell me what I'm looking at behind the grill in the picture...many thanks!

Possibilities if you are asking about the small radiator is it can be the air con condenser or the intercooler. If it is leaking, if black oil the intercooler, if clear oil the air con condenser. Put the air con on and see if it works and then with the air con off rev the engine and see if air leaks out.
