Rav 986S · 04-20-2018, 01:15 PM

Hi from the UK!

My 986S has developed a habit of wetting itself.

Firstly I noticed that there was steam in the rear trunk and bubbling and hissing sounds coming from the coolant bottle.

Then on the way home, the low collant light started to flash.

I noticed that the car was loosing liquid from around the rear drivers side wheel, both in front of this wheel and behind it.

I have pulled back the carpet in the boot and i can feel water down here:

I will pull it apart over the weekend, but does anyone have any instructions i can follow to repair?

My local OPC have quoted me around £220 for the replacement part.

Any help with a video tutorial or guidance that I could follow would be great.
