Both GM & SAAB used the system and it was in some Jaguars too. I think a simple vacuum servo powered system takes a lot of beating. The only real advantage I can see for the electrically powered WABCO system is that it continues to work with a dead engine.
Release pressure and the coolant will always spew out of a hot system as the reduced pressure causes the coolant to boil.
Not used on Trucks as far as I know. WABCO = Westinghouse Air Brake Company. I think they started out doing braking systems for trains, they also do air brakes for trucks.
I feel your pain
That's not good news
I feel your pain
Now that’s encouraging to hear.
I love this forum. nearly every issue I encounter has been encountered before and the good burghers of LZ provided advice and solutions. However, I promise that with all the defects, both from the history and occasionally me that plague her - if there is a new issue to discover then like the chemists in Ytterby finding elements, I’ll be the one to find it!
Not as much as I do. Once opened a hose fitting on a turned off Quooker which I then discovered allowed a reduction in pressure causing pressurised water at 110 deg to boil and the resulting steam and boiling water to empty themselves all over my ankle. 3rd degree burns. I was sitting cross legged so bloody lucky it was my ankle!I feel your pain
Otto was doing the same but the heads were fine (got skimmed anyway), it was a blown gasket. Badly between 2 and 4 but also just a seep starting between 8 and the water passage.
I would say your thermostat is fubar its closing off when the pressure is high and no opening again
Pretty sure that isn't the issue here
2 thoughts, use a live match strike it and....... 2nd is tell it it's a ford or a VW and not a Land Rover
