Which is stupid.Nah the old one I had in was KTM the new one is something else I can't remember.

The car only has 9000kms so I would have been pretty upset if they hadn't, modified or not. 4 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80646-coolant-problem-help-appreciated/page/3/#findComment-1257166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sh*t hits the fan, can't hold car at any speed without the rpm jumping everywhere , weird noises and just feels terrible.You will definitely notice if it happens , unmistakable. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80646-coolant-problem-help-appreciated/page/3/#findComment-1257334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
