How do i know if my car is leaking petrol?

aircon? whats that? I've got a '95 Daewoo Nexia. None of the electric windows work, the sunroof has been sealed cause it leaked and the aircon needs re-gassing!

I agree, I've been driving for over 40 years and never had a car with aircon, even present car a 2007 model doesn't have it. Aircon is just something else which initially costs more, needs servicing and eventually goes wrong.

Unless of course I don't have aircon!

My problem is that I am not even sure it is my car! It didn't happen this morning and I may well have driven onto someone elses leak! I will keep my eye on it and take it from there.

stop driving it until you know for sure its yours :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

How can anyone possibly cope without aircon. :eek:

I just push a little button and the roof folds away, far nicer than air-con :j :j

Reminds me of a couple of years ago, driving between Valencia and Barcelona in July, and the aircon appeared not to be working. I drove for about an hour in stifling heat wondering if I would be able to find somewhere to have it sorted before realising that I had the heat setting cranked up. D'oh...

LOL! Because I did exactly the same thing - well it was in York not Barcelona. I was starting to think - how much will this cost me to fix, I can't afford this right now. Which garage will I take it too...

And it adds about 50kg to the car :eek:

It's fine by the way! Car as clean as a whistle underneath when fiat checked. Looks like I was just unfortunate to park on someone elses spill!

Regarding the Fiat 500 coming with aircon as standard - really?!?! I must be looking in the wrong place for the button then! I remember when I bought it thinking why on earth would I pay extra for aircon when I live in the UK and have a perfectly functioning window?! In fact when I go on the fiat website and configure my car I can see it is an extra £525 for aircon.

Careful, I've been driving almost as long, 39 years infact, and boy do I feel old.;)

Aren't you tired? Now might be a good time to stop and ask for directions.
