Coolant problem, more help needed! (with photo's)
Jim Bowen replied to Foxster's topic in Engine Bay
i am starting this at the weekend, exact same thing did you have to support the engine at all, i read somewhere about one bolt that holds bumper on also does something with the engine? -
i don't get it, are you after a decent corrado for yourself?, or do you just clean them up and sell them on?
-
or magnets
-
Magnetic strips? like fridge magnets, but you'd probably have to stick it to the bumper and to the numberplates, could you get plates made up like a fridge magnet? flexible plates

if its getting all over the underside of bonnet that would suggest it getting flung around. are the fan blades covered in coolant? i am having coolant issues at the moment too, car is tucked away in garage and the guys at local place spotted a hole in rad, which i hadn't noticed i've had the thermostat housing go, and it didn't spray all around the engine bay. can you look through the front of grill? i think a magical stone managed to find its way through mine and that what has pieced the rad, bloody good shot on the stones behalf tho :lol: -
after this thread i bought a dremel, corded one in the end the results must of had these for months now, taken ages to clean them up...but they now ready :lol: when i got them

i use golden syrup now after seeing the modern skodas now run this stuff, takes a while to pour in and you need alot of tins, but the smell after a quick blat is amazing. i do however get a lot of bees & wasps following me during the warmer months
-
i did the rods and after looking at the old ones off the car, there was nothing wrong with them, couldn't see how they could wear really, quite a solid chunk of metal
-
i can't find them but they have a big pot within arms reach so i guess they quite common and universal across the range. was about £2.50 each tho :shock:

i take this back!!! was told he was good, but after seeing his work for myself i decided he is crap :mad2: too scared to use him now, saw some work he had done and it felt gritty all over, you could see lumps in the laquer (dust)? and to top it off he had polished in some nice swirls and hologramming into it aswell
-

-
