Not an "easy" task due to location but 100% doable.My concern would be the condition of the other welsh plugs. What coolant are you using?Are you engine earth straps connected properly?

_Velocity_ Bronze Donating Members 2,768 Member For: 14y 24d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 13/11/13 04:38 AM Share Posted 13/11/13 04:38 AM (edited) What a PITA of a job. Leave it to the professionals. Is this a common problem with the newer generations of Ford's I6? E series yes but I've never heard of a B series or FG having this issue before. Usually something else goes first lol Edited 13/11/13 04:44 AM by _Velocity_ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/86744-leaking-coolant-from-welsh-plug/#findComment-1439839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
