help help help airlock keeps coming back
right had a pump fail on me so new pump belt cosworth head gaskets stat coolant the lot then had a air lock the next day drained sorted was fine till tonight and got a air lock again the only ting i aint changed is the rad cap could it be letting water into the bottle and not back in again
|
It might be silly but my mechanical trade was with bikes not cars .. With bikes airlocks used to be a problem if the coolant was poured in to quickly. If you trickled in so the air could escape as the coolant went in you rarely had an airlock problem. If you did you just got the engine hot with the rad cap off but i know you have tried this from your other thread.
Good luck. |
yeah got rid of it but come back did it slow as hell last time and filled it through the matrixs and rad then the rad pipe then the cap then burped but it's back
|
best way I find is to fill through the water pipe to turbo.. once you can get no more in, run the engine with rad cap off until the thermostat opens.. you will know when because the water level will drop.. keep filling and then all of a sudden the water level in the header tank will rise.. put the cap on and turn engine off.. let it cool and top up..
usually no issue.. it does sound more like headgasket issue tbh, hoping not Simon |

Did you have the heads crack tested? May have been the problem all along.
|
head gaskets didnt go but i changed them just in case and yes was tested think i found the problem there's a his from one of the turbo water pipes :) think i've craked it at last

If you've cracked a pipe that will suck air in.
