I have a Cherokee mk 2 1997 vintage , equipped with the devils own creation , the 2.5 diesal VM engine...

A few days ago it spat all its water out somewhere under the drivers side of the engine...

Apparently there is a hose running from somewhere near the oil cooler , and seems to be leaking from there...?

I can,t even touch the hose , let alone see it , can anyone inflicted by a similar engine give me a clue what bits i have to remove to get at this hose...?

Yes...  i have thought about setting fire to it a few times...but i have just put new springs and new driveshaft uj,s on it...

But i will sell it as soon as its running again...

And yes...i am buying a Petrol Grand Cherokee next time...

Asuming its from the heater matrix or hose's in the dash?

A few pictures of the job ahead







Matrix

Eeeek..don,t be scaring me with those nasty pictures...

I am pretty sure its not coming from the heater , the water was running down on the drivers side , the opposite side to the heater....

My Polish mechanic friend had a look when it was on his ramp and like me he thinks its coming from a hose near the oil cooler , hidden behind the water pump , and under the turbo pipes...

you can,t even see the hose from the top of the engine , or from the bottom , so i guess i will just have to remove bits till i can get at it...

I didn,t even know there was a water hose around that area....  untill it peed all over the road...
