Damp Patch Paranoia - Problem Solved!!
Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2009 5:39 pm
In recent weeks, I have been noticing a damp patch under the Bongo in the middle roughly between the back of the front wheels. As we've been having lots of rain and I've been parking on wet ground more often than not, it's only really been evident when it's dry under the Bongo, and most obvious when it's been raining and the only dry place is where the Bongo has been.
Anyway, the coolant leak paranoia quickly set in (I discounted air con because I haven't been using it) and I have been having a good look round for leaks and found nothing.
Anyway, today when I was having a good clean around, and checking all my levels and topping up the washer bottle etc, I thought I'd check that that little drain hole in front of the windscreen under the bonnet was clear of muck. I gave it a poke with a wooden coffee stirrer and then poured a bit of water down it to clear it through.
This has probably been mentioned before, and I am probably a bit of a twit, but at least I know where my puddle was coming from
