When I changed my radiator a year ago (is it that long already ?) I used no "goo" of any description anywhere. And not a single drop of fluid has been added to the system since that time.

Alloy washer doesn't seem correct. It's quite narrow. If not centred by hand it won't sit central. Although it seemed lined up and was tight enough before removal.

One for the dealers in the morning.

Have you tried the sensor from tother rad

No its all still in bits. Sensor itself, facing the coolant, is a solid lump of brass. No way that's leaking. If that's what you mean?

Meant that the seal on the other one might be in better nick, and therefore able to prove that the seal is the fault rather than the rad itself

Yes I did have that thought, but I'm reluctant to keep pinching bits off that car. Tbh.


...although swapping the rad on that will be much simpler when its finished, given the lack of intake and plenum.

Might have a spare sensor here if it can wait until Saturday afternoon

Kind offer, thanks, but it needs to be back together tomorrow.

Might just fit the other rad. See what the dealers say in the am.

[05omegav6]

No bother

[chrisgixer]

Seems its "an aluminium washer with a rubber insert"

So a douwty washer I guess.

All back together. See what puddles we get in the morning.
