Guest Guests Posted 01/09/04 04:45 AM Share Posted 01/09/04 04:45 AM Well I finally got the word yesterday on the rotten coolant.The trans cooler had a leak into the radiator,and instead of getting a new radiatortrickeyprickears,said they brazed it up!!!So that means the end tank would of had to of come off,hope I got a new one of those.So take it from me folks,do a weekly check on your header tank,my mate the trans guy has had two BAs to fix last month,coolant in the trans,if your tank looks like mine,off to the dealer...If it aint green its fcuked,simple as that!I reckon I will bypass the rad cooler and get a trans cooler fordBTW,the trans guy said these autos were built on the cheap side with a sh1tty little trans pump etcvik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 05/09/04 01:58 AM Share Posted 05/09/04 01:58 AM WELL GUESS WHAT??? My header tank has got strawberry milk in it again.Now this is a real surprise to me.How could this of happned,when Ive had adelaides finest engineers pour their wisdom over the problem.The thought of a new radiator solving the problem never entered my mind.Taking out the old radiator,welding up the hole,then putting it back in the car seemed by farr the most logical way to go Lucky they gave me a new header tank(at gun point)at there great expence so they could "monitor" the situation.Wouldnt have seen much with the old one or was that the plan???So what do I do now???Before the tranqulizers wear off ,let me know your thoughts folksnot vik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
