Hi to you all
New member please be gentle
Been reading these forums for awhile now. So signed up. My son and I have a 03. L322 3.0 TD project. Turning into a nightmare.

So what did we do today. Finished fitting a refurbed Torque converter, as it had a gearbox problem.
All was well then 30 miles later all stop. Again. Before fitting said Torgue converter, ATF had been changed twice filter once. Did 300 miles. Great we thought.
How ever once it gets warmed up comes to a stop, but cooled down off we go again.. Very confusing..

Anyone had anything similar?

Di you follow the correct filling procedure at the correct temperature and with the correct ATF?
 
Right well i think I've decided the engine is buggered. Pipes are getting way too hard and air isn't 'working it's way out'. It can only be exhaust gas :(

I've got to try changing the head gasket, but i shan't hold my breath

What's the chances of all the ways a HG can fail, it's pressurised coolant?

How hard do you call hard? 14psi makes the pipes quite firm.
I thought you had done a gas test on the coolant?

By hard i mean just able to make an impression on the hose with my thumb.
Just been out to check while it's still warm, was able to take cap off without losing coolant.. put my pressure tester on and pumped to 15psi and that felt similar. 16psi perhaps felt more firm but it's hard to say.
Do you think I'm overreacting again then?
I did the gas test myself but the liquid is old, i don't know if it loses ability to change colour

Maybe i need to restart the bleed process from scratch again.
I was expecting pressure to be around 12, 2-3 more isn't much i guess

Had the vibrating problem on mine it was the plastic housing vibrating on the wing so I used something similar to these.

Thanks - was going to be my next move as reversing the washers made no difference to the noise.
Was going to be a simple loosen all bolts a few mm, then one at a time bolt out, slip a rubber washer into place, refit bolt, until all are done.
Knowing my luck that will increase the noise!

I believe it has been known to remove the pump box and give the panel under a little love with a rubber mallet.

I had all the symptoms for three days, Mrs P had a sore throat two days before testing positive and the youngest only got a sore throat for two days... It hits everyone differently..
Thanks Brian. ;)
