Water Leak

Post by zughdi »

Hi Guys

I drive a Ford Fiesta 2009 model. I have a water leak at the pipe that is connected from the radiator to the water bottle, see attached pics :cry: The water leaks whenever the car is parked. Every morning I have to top up about a mug of water in the bottle.

The other problem I have now is that I'm starting to hear a squeaky noise coming from the engine. :shock:

Any ideas what the problem could be?

Try replacing the hose clip, when you do check that pipe is not damaged at all.

Could you post a video of the noise?

Looks like that pipe has been bodged up before as my pipe has no hose clips on it.
I'd buy a new pipe from Ford.

Squeaking noise will be coolant trapped on auxiliary belt.

yup, agreed, bodged it should be a solid continuous pipe with quick release at the end...£20 or there abouts, common problem
