Yup anyone have a clue why and what it is. Coolent is just pooring out from that area, cars is too hot to check. i didn't hit no bump or nothing to rip a hole in nothing either, drove came back home and all a sudden coolent is pooring out between the block and firewall dripping down on the tranny. any clues guys?
thinking is the hose but just want a second opinion btw do anyone have a blue print of all the hose that goes back there, so i know what to remove to get to it? thank you.
Is it the coolant neck running out of the head? My guess is that you popped a freeze plug or if your car was fitted with a block heater, check it. I was driving home one night and the same thing happened to me. The back-facing core plug where the block heater was fitted popped out and dumped all my coolant.
see i am not sure it was too hot to go under the car and coolent was still pooring out so i am waitting till tomarrow. it is a 88 st165but is it a simple fix if it is the plug cause i have to move out before the 15 and leave home on the 23. suck so i might have to sell my baby or trade her which I dont want but is my next option if i cant fix her in time.
IF it's the back side freeze plug you can reach it by removing the suspension cross member. It's still awkward, but I did it, so you'll be fine too. Use a rubber expansion plug, it's much easier b/c it's next to impossible to hammer another core plug in that confined space - they initially put them in with the engine out of the car. Let me know if it is the problem, and I'll get you the plug diameter size.
yeah right now i am waitting hope is something simple cause i love this car. Too bad it gotta do this at this time but better now then on my way home.
differently at this point in time, man now i might have to lose her but I will try to fight to get her home with me but if i must then i must lose her.
How far do you have to take it? you may be able to find a company that will tow it for a reasonable price. I know when i was looking into transporting mine i found a comapny that charged $280 to tow it 600km.
is not that bad just coolent as for now but i already got a auto transport company to take it to mn for 550. so she have been save but now i am broke lol
I have to go 900 miles and all my friends here can't leave and all my friends there a always broke so yea well go the car pick up yesturday so once I get there is time for a rebuild. What is a good company that make our headgasket, don't want metal heard they suck I think I am going with copper.
Metal head gaskets suck?? why, using the st205 head gasket for about £40, works fine for most, unless they spend the money on the TTE / TRD ones. Only place I know that does copper ones if for cosworths.
thats fine as long as copper is stronger then the other head gasket. cause i don't hear to many good things about metal hg and me myself don't like the oem ones.
