Guest clacky Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hi Guys Need some help please.......... Took the old lady out for the first time in 4 months at the weekend and managed to go a mile before i noticed the temp had gone into the red. Upon inspection i noticed that the bottom tube under the rad was leaking so i have replaced that and have just tried to top up with water and i now have water pouring out from somewhere under the exhaust manifold Any ideas what the problem may be cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest clacky Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 mk 4 90 mfi or efi? Hi Shaun It is a mk4 efi and i think you are right as i eventually found a nice round hole in the side of the block under the exhaust manifold. I added more water and it all flodded out of that hole, so a core plug it is. It then took me 10 minutes to get my arm back out minus skin !! ) Looks like a long winded job to remove everything just to replace the plug................ Many thanks for your help, much appreciated Cheers chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
