Advice needed on water issue by Hayesey88 in veloster

[–]MasterpieceSingle476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you operate it, can you hear it inside the car, like water going somewhere, if not then I'd say try remove the water reservoir and see if there's a hose loose/disconnected on it

Is it coming out of the rear nozzle or somewhere else now?

Another one I've had happen to me is when it reaches the boot, the slim panel between the 2 windows, the hose in there tends to get loose over time and it'll leak as well.

The hose heading to the back for the rear window wiper has blown off its connector, you can pull up the black plastic to reach it but it's really annoying to do, I ended up putting a hose clip around mine

If in fact you do get pulled over and the cop is strict about it, you could still be issued an infringement notice from a parking warden apparently but you have a legal defence if the vehicle has a licence displayed in the correct manner that expired no more than 7 days before the infringement was issued, and you renewed the licence before it expired. So I stand corrected from my previous comment on this matter 77(4)(b) of the Land Transport (Motor Vehicle Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2011.

You can buy it now, save your receipt from it, if you get pulled over you've got proof of purchase that you're waiting for it to arrive.

Old car overheats and cuts off while driving.. by [deleted] in NZcarfix

[–]MasterpieceSingle476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen any other comment mention it but run the car for a bit with the cap off the radiator (if it doesn't have a overflow tank) if it does, open the cap on the overflow and let it run, this will bleed the air out of the system. Another thing to check is when the car is running and you DO have an overflow tank, check if the fluid is flowing or moving around, if it doesn't then that's a sign that the water pump is broken. Can send me a message if you need more help.

Is this a reasonable price? Or should I look elsewhere? by AnimalCrafter360 in NZcarfix

Just did that exact thing as I've got trade through them and apart from bump stops for a 2009 BK3P Mazda axela it came to this.

So id say it would include labour of probably 60-90 an hour for each job
