Title: My VR6 has been sick on the drive!
Post by: Richard Andrews on 14 May 2009, 14:51

Woke up this morning and noticed the car has been sick? See picture. These 3 pipes run underneath the car under the drivers side. I pulled out the black sponge and a cup full of fluid gushed out. The pipes go into a void that i cannot seem to get to and don't want to pull out the seat and lift the carpet if thats not where they go!

WTF?

I believe that will be fuel or brake fluid.

No idea from that pic I'm afraid. What's the fluid like? Think or thin? I guess you know what petrol smells like so it's probably not that. My guess would be PAS fluid.

Do you know what each pipe carries? The fluid was dry on the driveway so I have no idea what it was or which of the 3 pipes it has leaked from. Just think it is a strange place for it to leak and I cannot figure out how I trace the pipes forward as they go through that tunnel!

I believe fuel return is the blue one.

I think it was just dirty water that spilled out when I jacked up the car slightly cause car half full and running fine.
