Water leak?
« on: 26 July 2018, 22:20 »
Hi all. Just got out of the car and noticed a small water leak (no coolant mix, just water) I assume this is just air con condensation or something similar? It’s roughly beneath the front seats, in the middle. Thanks

Sounds like air con condensation, especially in this weather.

I get this too, it always seems more prevalent after a spirited drive too. Still gives me a heart attack everytime I see it

My 2016 went for its 20000 mile service on Tuesday.
Got sent the walk around vid by the tech & he discovered a water leak & said would investigate further.

Phone call 2 hours later & advised either water pump or thermostat housing but need to investigate further & keep car over night.

Phone call Wednesday & advised is the water pump & ordering parts.

Hopefully it will be ready today, pic from the walk around vid
