new questions parts related. water pump QUINTON HAZELL or Bearmach? head gasket OEM or Bearmach? other than the obvious water pump gasket what other gaskets should i be getting? putting together a shopping list on bearmach now ready for collection :)

james/simon, i know the thermo wont open until temp but the rad wont go from cold to hot in an instant either my plan was just let it do its thing ticking over (fan removed) checking every few mins until a temp change then feel for even heating up of the rad. but yeah know it could be head...

im assuming im checking for even cover so start her up "COLD" and then run my hand back and forth on the rad while its warming if it all gets too hot to touch its all clear lol my hands are used to getting burnt on hot engines and parts so i should be fine. also helps im a medic so can fix...

no fancy tools here just the torque wrench a "special tool number1" (hammer) some spanners and my eyecrometer lol well i have some sockets and other tools but nothing fancy or posh lol

since you told me bout it forever ago its become part of my "new" coolant shopping list lol

buying a water pump tomorrow either way and few gaskets and stuff so will check out what it does when thats fitted and check the rad also. cause be my luck i'll fix the pump and it be something else to go with it lol

as i said i would time for the update first here is a video ..... secondly my temp gauge still go's up to normal and blowers stay hot... finally the water pump/pulley squealing like a pig in a slaughter house. only took it on a short trip about 3 miles stayed under 2k rev's by time i got to...

the power loss was seemed to be up in the turbo range. as for the coolant all i can tell you is that when i took the cap off slowly it pumped coolant out of the bottle when it stopped pouring out the bottle was full. i put the cap back on and opened up the thermo housing cap and that was dry...

thanks for clearing it up james :) quick question related to it though is it worth leaving it plugged in (connected/wired) without having the EGR does it report back to the ECU or something. took the throttle position sensor off a while ago when i took the EGR off cant say i noticed a difference...

ok so i didnt stop looking at things and the sensor in my pic a few posts back (one that looks like its the one snapped in the post you sent me too) is part number ERR2081 and is listed as "Temperature sensor in cylinder head" so EGR or not its deffo a temp sensor lol

the EGR is removed new top pipe, blanking plate and capped the vacume that was all done umm some months ago lol not sure how many but anyways the EGR isnt related to my problem so gonna stop looking at EGR stuff and get back to what i need to right now. testing to see if its head gasket or one...

ok i stand corrected there is something else EGR related will look into that tomorrow and remove the wiring if it is EGR aint like its going to help with my EGR in the kitchen lol

thats where i was today lol and Pembrokeshire is a big place would need a bit more of a clue haha

80 ish miles its where the ambo service is i work for haha

after i let it cool it would rev just fine i just opted to drive it at low rev's to get it home. cable is looking good but as always thanks for trying to help neilly at this point im happy to check any and all options :)

it hit a limp mode alright. 55mph on the flat in 5th gear put my foot to the floor no change not even a change in the engine pitch

i can help out on that one and say nope and i've remove the egr the blank plate will be housing my EGT when i get everything else fixed lol only sensor i could find related to the EGR was the throttle position sensor that is also now unplugged in the engine bay

STUPID cover is in the bin has been for months :) i take it the pipe your talking about is the heater matrix feed/return lol and is the pic in this post it cause if so i have a new one to hand lmao so to hand i just took that pic haha

ummm maybe lol let me know where abouts it is and i'll get back to you haha

thermo is only a couple of months old that was one of my old issues if you remember hehe, i figured the reason the gauge didnt go passed normal would be due to the lack of coolant on it
