Guys just driving round a car park for while looking for a space and once is parked up I noticed a red fluid leaking from underneath the engine, appears to be coming from a hose/bulb to the left of the battery... Got pics but not sure how to upload from my phone. Just need to know if I'm safe to drive home and can investigate further tomo. Nightmare Renault!
Power steering fluid , if it's leaking your steering will get heavy but I'm sure it will get you home as long as its not too far
Steve cheers mate...its about 15 min drive...I suspected power steering fluid as the steering has been a problem since I bought the car...
Wow the abbreviations are going strong tonight! (wtaagst) The Megane steering is hydraulic - and it's lovely
ha . . . alright guys made it home safe (I think) . . . Just wondering what to do now, car is on the drive. Ok so it can't be power steering fluid . . . transmission fluid? The temp needle has not moved I don't think . . . Here are some pics: Its that rubber bulb type hose/capping that is leaking. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Rich
Colour is red so must be coolant . . . What is that rubber bulb type hose cap? Where would I find a replacement? What purpose does it serve? Thanks for help. Rich
^^^ Can anyone help with the above? Trying to identify the rubber bulb / hose / capping thing in the picture which is where the leak is coming from. Currently car is out of use and unable to drive it to a garage S-:
Does the bung serve no purpose? I thought it might house a sensor or something but thats silly cos there is no wire, or create some sort of vacuum . . . What did you replace it with?
It could be a bleed point. It could be a point where a return goes. Its just part of having a car that engine is used in multiple different cars
Makes sense thanks . . . Any ideas where I could get a replacement or what to put in its place. Maybe a bit of hose with a bolt in the end for now? Just not sure what kind of pressure is in that system . . .
