P38A Big Thanks to Datatek et al

Salisbury Nick · Mar 15, 2020

Big thanks to @Datatek and @Mark Piercy.

Thanks to Datatek for the mod and instructions, thanks to Mark for giving me the confidence to do it!

Finished today, together with some other Mod's, (moved the oil cooler) and finishing the water pump change.

And it only Bloody Works!

I mean, I was always sure Datateks mod was right - but it was my ability execute it that was under doubt!

Cheers,

Nick

Is that dial falling out? Spot of glue required? Stove glue will be high temperature.

If I were you, I'd put that stat in a protective box, especially as you go off road.

Temp probe is on the top hose on the right hand side.

No. It's well stuck on - just a bit of a cheap stat' and a funny camera angle so looks a bit shonky but actually it's pretty solid.

Good idea, thanks Datatek.

Or lack of.

Viscous delete and giving the aircon fans a kings shilling?

I'm sure I've seen Data mention it a couple of times

Where’d you get that cap for the pulley?

They come on a new water pump to protect the thread.

RangeRoller dt · Mar 18, 2020

Never thought to keep mine

Salisbury Nick · Mar 18, 2020

This is amazing. Half a dozen questions and they are all answered, correctly, before I even see them!

Well to be honest, I forgot to remove it after installing the new water pump...

Depends which one you are looking at. Photo's in this thread are Datatek's fan mod' - i.e. removing the viscous fan and as @Grrrrrr , @myfirstl322 and @tomcat59alan all said - using the air con fans to cool the rad' if it requires it.

However, there is also a link to another Mod' - 'Salisbury Nicks Gearbox Oil Rad' mod, where I removed the Gearbox oil cooler from the front lower spoiler behind the fog light blank and re-located it to behind the EAS system in the engine bay. (Time will tell if this is a successful mod'!) Venerable members have their doubts....
