Coolant Leak - Interior

[WelshPetrolhead]

I had to remove the complete dash as my heater was leaking and that valve, also had to remove the carpet as you may have to do to get rid of the coolant in it and this thread near the end also confirms Dom fitted the DMGRS valve https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc26...ghlight=heater

Thanks Jeff. Yeah I read through that thread yesterday afternoon once I had access and noticed Dom's posts at the end. Looks like this has the potential to be quite a large job.

Well if its just one of the hoses probably not, depending on which and access to the offending clip. If it is a balance valve swap, it can (just) be fitted without getting the dash out, but easier if you do I think. In any event a seat out job to let you lie down in the RH footwell anyway! I managed to change one of my hoses in that way. It had been partly chaffed through by the accelerator pedal tail end (LHD car, so next to the tunnel roughly at the valve location)

Not really all depends where it's leaking from, as David points out it can be removed without the dash being removed. Have a look proper at it to find out how you can do it as it's not in a great place, you may have to remove the pedal box to get it out but I'm not sure about that part as I removed the dash as the heater pipe itself was also leaking so I did whole thing in one. Have you identified where it's leaking from? A pipe, connection, the valve or something else?
