    The mistery of the water system, no pressure

    Ok 30 miles on A roads done, temp guage stable at 70% heater working really well, like toasty, and no water loss, also pressure in the system at last. Lets see how it goes.

    The mistery of the water system, no pressure

    Ok, update here, I replaced the old thermostat with a 88c bearmach one. The temperature of the engine has now gone up from 1/4 of the gauge to 3/4. The heating is really working and the engine is running fine. There is some pressure as well. Its the first time since having the car that the...

    Screws, Flaps, Rubbers and Wetness

    Hi, I'm trying to get Jo (90) sorted for the winter and one thing on the list of tasks is to find replacement screws for the dash cover, you know all the plastic parts. Does anyone know the size of the screws, I've google it but you seem to be able to get kits for everything but not the dash...

    Oki dokie, explains why its soft when the engine is cold then.

    The mistery of the water system, no pressure

    Ok, but remember I've had a pressure tester on it for hours.

    The mistery of the water system, no pressure

    Thats what I thought... So it is the temperature that raises the pressure or pump? I'm into daft questions now because I'm stumped.
  16. SpaceDawg

    The mistery of the water system, no pressure

    Okie's I'll replace that as well. How do you test if the pump is working, or do I assume it would have over heated.

    The mistery of the water system, no pressure

    Hi, Ok just chucking this out there, not because I have a problem with it, but to see your views. Its my 200TDI, it runs pretty cold just over the upper dot on the temperature gauge and on a motorway run after 30mins+ at 60+ it creeps the halfway up the gauge, no further. I have no leaks. I...

    200tdi cracked block?

    So do I, it is a tiny hole and I just popped a second coat of JB on it. I'll get the car on the road tomorrow and see what happens.

    200tdi cracked block?

    Ok, not a perfect repair, but hopefully it will hold. I cleaned up the block, slapped on the glue and left it for 2 days, you will see its run down the block, I knew this would happen and I could not put the car on it side. But there is about a 3mm cover over the hold and sourounding area.
