In this video, you will learn how to emergency fix a significant water leak on a Fiat Ducato. Fortunately, the YouTuber did not lose heart when he saw a puddle of water suddenly forming under his van and managed to identify that the problem was caused by the pulley rotating and damaging the end of the coolant hose.

The solution was to temporarily seal the emergency to get home and have the fault properly repaired. The method involved cutting the "damaged" hose and keeping it away from the pulley with a support made from wire, and then, of course, topping up the coolant with plain water, which can be done in an emergency.
