pug309twin40s 1 Posted October 17, 2006 dont know where the foam would be coming from. what colour foam is it? your best bet would be to pull the fan motor out and have a look see if anything is in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jer309GTi 3 Posted October 18, 2006 Thats a strange one. Wouldn't have thought the coolant would foam up, I suppose it could do if it was being whipped up by the fan motor. Have you got A/C? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danrogers 0 Posted October 19, 2006 no a/c mate. its a the type of foam in a car seat, that sort of thing but small bits and is kind of sticky and breaks apart easy as if its gone brittle with age? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jer309GTi 3 Posted October 19, 2006 Hmm, maybe a long shot but do you think somebody repaired a broken hose on the blower system with expanding foam, the stuff like builders use to seal around windows etc? What ever it is it sounds like its clogging up the pipes and little bits are breaking off and blowing through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B1ack_Mi16 67 Posted October 19, 2006 There usually is a small foam-strip glued onto the heater-matrix to stop it from rattling in it's casing. Maybe that's what's coming out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
