Help. Car just broke down. - defrank - 16:th-Aug-2019 Morning fellas. Just noticed smoke coming from the bonnet my car this morning on my way to work. So I stopped. There’s some water-like liquid all over the engine. Anyone know what this is? Thanks. RE: Help. Car just broke down. - Big Dave2 - 16:th-Aug-2019 Well the only water type liquid under the bonnet will be the engine coolant, or screen wash. Chances are its the former. It tends to have a slippery feel to it when rubbed between your fingers. Is the expansion tank cap on properly? Any hoses leaking? Help.

Thanks Dave. Help. Car just broke down. - defrank - 16:th-Sep-2019 Had the thermostat housing replaced but now the needle just goes from 0 to halfway in less than a minute. That’s not normal. Haven’t seen the temperature needle rising that fast. Anyone got any idea what this could be? Thanks. RE: Help.
