Well done saving another one.
First thing to check is the thermostat for leaks. Check the plenums too, not as critica, as the ECU sits higher up, but still needs checking. Check the shannon tube, it has probably disintegrated. Enjoy the noise!

This is how it all begins & the 'collection' starts to build
If you have no idea when the timing belts were last changed, I'd add this to your list. As said, check for signs of coolant in the valley where the thermostat is located (shine a torch under the inlet manifold, you'll soon see) Last edited by mh007; 23rd January 2017 at 08:14.. |
