[Water Leaking]

There is more than 1 water hose that runs near the firewall. Get under the car and check for leaks.

The next thing to check is in the drivers and passengers footwell for water/damp spots. If there is then your heater core is leaking which is behind the dash.

As a temporary fix you can run the two pipes coming out of the firewall on the passenger side into each other.

thanks for the reply, ill have to get under and take another look.cant believe my luck!

you need to have the heater set to full hot when you fill the system or you will have air trapped in there

also, you need to bleed the air out from the head with the 1 or 2 10mm bleed bolts near the top of the intake manifold

so if i haven't done this water will continue to be realised? where is it going? i think there was a few drips coming from under the engine but its been cold wet mornings and cant really tell where its coming from or if its morning dew. where are the other water hoses located? thanks for the heads up

might be worth checking the oil and coolant. make sure neither are milky. also look at the coolant with the engine running. if there are any signs of bubbles then you may have a blown head gasket (also if you are losing coolant).

there is no milky looking stuff, radiator could do with a good flush. hope im not up for a head gasket as well as the rest of the things that need attention.

Did the engine overheat at all?

Did u bleed the colling system after u replaced the blown hose?

Is the problem always there or intermittant?

engine didn't over heat i had only driven a short distance and realised something was wrong

the colling was not bleed but there is a fair bit of rusty looking residue where the hose has sprayed in the engine bay

the problem is intermittent but its only just started happening.

when the first hose went i thought i may be up for a head gasket but got lucky when it was found to be a split under side radiator hose. all the hoses are a bit crusty getting on now.

any idea ?

my r33 gtst is un happy at the moment. the second water related hose has let go within a month. i am almost up for a timing belt,water pump change and she is due a service and tune. on the way home today after replacing the water line at the rear of the engine i was loosing power under boost, the revs where fluttering up and down and there is a groaning type noise . i also noticed that the vacuum section of the boost gage was registering lower than i have ever seen. is this miss firing spark related and can anyone shed some light on these problems thanks

ive had my r33 for just over a year now and the clock just clicked 200k and timing is up for a change. could anyone give me an idea on the cost of a timing belt, water pump, and bearings etc? may as well do the lot why its apart. have a mate who is a mobile mechanic, so if i get the parts he can through it in and hopefully i can save a little cash. where and who is selling this kit at the best price?any help would be cool cheers
