Having a R33 GTR 1996 that is ****ing coolant all over the place and need
a qouple of pointers before I destroy the car beyond repair.
When the engine is cold there is no water leak and everything is hunky-dory.
The problem starts when the thermostat opens and starts circulating water.
It seems that there is either a leaky hose or clamp that is causing the problem. Found the leak to be under the intake collector and therefor this has to be removed.
However, further investigation hasn't helped me actually locating the leaky
bit. The issues is that I need to get pressure on the system to visually seeing
the leak as it's only happening when the thermostat opens and this can't be
done with the intake collector removed. :chairshot
The leak is a "pressurized" leak so it's not a "dripp dripp" or "loose tummy" leak.
:squintdan
SO my question is:
What parts of the circulation under the intake collector gets increased
pressure when the thermostat opens or is the heating of the water itself raising
the pressure?
Any "typical" faults that can cause this leak of collant?
Yep, have inspected the turbo water feed pipes/joints but is to far away from
the location that the leak was spotted.
Any ideas where to start or anybody experienced similar problems?
