frosty man i know what you feel,as for me i am waiting for an engine now,i am paying for the mistakes of the p/o,everything was replaced in my cooling system,including h/g and skimming the heads to find out after that the block is fooked,and the mecanic gave the engine a chance and thought that...

the temp gauge is always at center or 2 mm above it,i know the liners have slipped,i am waiting for an engine to replace it,hoses are pressurizing and rock hard,it is driving me mad,the cooling system has been overhauled entirely,and the heads skimmed and gaskets changed,i am just trying to...

and when it is way under it, it means what dear friend?,and when i open the cap to release the pressure it will go way up when engine is hot (i know i shouldn't do that) but it likes it lol.so the opposite is happening while hot it is way down under the level,how pressure is pushing it down...

hello gents; coolant level while the engine is at normal running operation must always be on the mark?how come over pressurizing will push the coolant down to the bottom of the tank instead of up and ejecting it from the tank? i know i need a new engine but i am trying to understand something in...

Vc fan shouldn't have this amount of play,half a cm.is the max tolerance i sudgest to replace it while changing the pump.

Wammers never mind him,you and alot more are an asset to this forum,wether your old or young,intelligence isn't measured by age but experience and on top of it keeping uptodate is the key factor that insures continuity,the cup of knowledge never gets full.

Ansecond hand engine is for 1200$ i will end up paying 1500 $ in total for the work done,without mentioning alot of things that needs replacing once you remove an engine and put onother,labour is the cheapest arround 100$ but what pi$$es me off is knowing that i will replace it again after a...

fett your not encouraging me to replace the engine,all i need is a little hope that the new engine will last on me few more years,if not damn it i will sell the fekker and get a kia lol

guess a second hand engine will be fitted and i will fit a coolant temperature sensor from the expansion tank with a gauge on the dashboard along with it and a damn digital one also with a big red led light and an alarm horn with it as soon as the coolant reaches 95 celsius, i will make it...

thanks james.

is it true that if these engine never overheat the liners will never slipp or is it just bullock?a time will come and they will slipp whether it overheats or not?

cheers james sorry i didn't understand what u mean.i was talking about the heads if i fit them to onother block that already have good liners,is it worth it, refitting them to save some money,or it is better to get an entire engine from a breaker with a one month warranty?and less headache?

hey fett cheers,no they were replaced with normal ones,guess the block was bored to refit the ones that i have now,guess the block wont take it anymore,and with the skimmed heads that i have do u recommend reputting them on a new block?

Hello gents; Guess definatly now the engine is fooked,i tried all what i can to save the fooker,tstat replaced,water pump,radiator,ALL HOSES,valley gasket,throttle heater to plenum including hoses,heater matrix+o rings,flushed coolant,bled it,etc,no leaks 100% Now the pressure has increased in...

Had the same fault like you are having,i ended up replacing the volumetric sensor,didn't check for faults,failure of this sensor is a common problem.

Congrats rewmer,smart move,no more active air suspension that it is inactive most of the time,no more slipped liners,no more crapy brake modulator,better fuel economy,a\c condensor that will last almost forever,no more eka and alarm problems,if this is not enough to trade your p38 then keep...

Did you check the tstat if it is opening properly?put in in a kettle with water and look if it is opening when the water starts to boil,i bought two tstats to replace mine and both of them were faulty so the third was fine.check also if the coolant is coming back to the exp tank from the bleed...
