problems with jeep grand cherokee ltd 2001
« on: November 21, 2010, 07:56:33 PM »

i have 3 problems with my jeep
firstly i am losing coolant about 2 litres a month can not find where it is leaking from,
 secondly occassionally have drips of water on the passenger side under the heater but not a large amount not sure if that is related but it is only water not coolant. it seems to happen when the air con has been on
thirdly the drivers seat frame seems to have snapped
can anyone advise me on these problems and can anyone recommend a good mechanic around the west midlands area who is reliable and is not going to rip me off
many thanks

If it's a 4 L check the bottom hose where it rubs the pulley guard
It tends to split then only leak under pressure

firstly i am losing coolant about 2 litres a month can not find where it is leaking from,
check whats been said as there should be some staining from the leak present

secondly occassionally have drips of water on the passenger side under the heater but not a large amount not sure if that is related but it is only water not condesate form the air con

thirdly the drivers seat frame seems to have snapped
this could quite possibly be rewelded but remove the seat first
