Morning guys,
Yesterday me and a friend were doing a service, and also fitting a blank plate for the stat, and a PRT kit and also replacing the 2 temp sensors as the temp gauge seemed to be on coke! It would fluctuate massively if I had the fans on.
Bled all correctly and heaters turned hot after 5 minutes of starting the car then put the cap back on and all is well. Then took it for a 20 minute test run. Fan didn't kick in, the temp gauge doesnt work and apon inspection a coolant leak has appeared over night.
I'll attach a video of the leak.
I have wrapped the lower rad hose in tissue to see if it asborbs anything and nothing, it doesn't leak as much when driving, but when the system de pressurizes it leaks like that. The rad seems to be in good order, with no cracks, bent fins etc.
Any guidence would be great!
