I sprang a leak today. I was driving along and noticed the Heat gauge moving up a little… then a little more,… then a LOT more. By the time I got pulled over it was pegged to the top.
Luckily I had a gallon of water in the van, so I put that in, then walked over to a store and got some more water. I heard water trickling, but not at the front of the van. The hose to the rear heater in the van had rubbed and worn thru. I called around to a couple of DMS members, and as luck would have it Tom @TLAR was nearby. Tom helped me bypass the leak with some parts from Lowes. Thanks to Tom, I was able to continue my day.
After work, I came back to the space and was able to remove the rear heater and secure the bypass better.
Thank goodness for Automotive, and the generosity of DMS members.
