Small whater leak
« on: 16 December 2011, 14:11:29 »
Hi,

How can I stop a small leak at the radiator fan switch?
Wich product should I use, does some kind of teflon tape will do the job?

Thank you.

the fan switch doesn't have the proper structure to fit a seal.

I think from the factory these switches were sealed with a plain copper washer, but if you try to buy that now from Vx you will be sold a Dowty washer.
