THUNDERZED Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hi All, Appreciate your inputs here, have had my zed over a year, it's a weekend car and not used much. Its a 56 rev up. I just got her back on the road for the summer, was due a major service which I had my local nissan dealer perform. While cleaning the car today and engine bay when I started running it i noticed a lite smoke from the radiator area and it smells a little musty/odd... i never noticed this before now and don't think it is any cleaners i used as I noticed the same smell coming back from the service the other week. The AC was on in the car so thinking it might be to do with this. All temps and pressures are normal, took it for a drive and no issues and when parked up noticed this lite smoke and smell again with the bonnet up. I'll get it to a garage i think next week if not a simple known fix, anyone else had this? Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTAK Z Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I'd get the AC checked out ... probably due for a re-gas anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THUNDERZED Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Thanks for the comments, am pretty sure it is something connected with the AC now. Ran the car on a 20min run with no AC and no smoke when i stopped and checked. Kicked on the AC, ice cold but when lift the bonnet this lite smoke from the bonnet catch area, seems to be past the horns under the cooling panel. Any know whats located here?

THUNDERZED Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 So I got to the bottom of this issue. Turns out the radiator is the culprit on the seam which when the AC is running is making it more visible. So looks like a new radiator for me soon...
