JackStar Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Ive got a mates gt to sort out a few bits, but im stuck on a coolant problem,The coolant was coming out of the expansion bottle so he changed the headgasket, its not losing water now, but the top rad hose is getting very hard with pressure and the bottom hose isnt getting hot, ive checked the thremosat and that works fine, its had the spare rad from my glanza so thats ok and not blocked.Maybe a blockage somewhere?Anyone got an idea as to where i go now?Jack Quote
Asad Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 did you replace the stat or "test" it? replace it and see how it goes Quote
JackStar Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 I tested it, it worked fine, i dont wont to replace it for no reason, the owner of the gt is broke lolJack Quote
chris H Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 is the coolant circulating? could be a nackered water pump? Quote
Wantaglanz Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 id say possibly water pump, or a massive air lock lol Quote
JackStar Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 How can you tell if the water pumps knackered? it spins ok.Jack Quote
chris H Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 take the rad cap off when it's cold, start it up with the cap off and let it run, see if the coolant flows in the rad, if not the pumps fooked hence the hot top pipe and cold bottom.HTHchris. Quote
