BTW, re the thread title, what is "faked" ? or did you mean "failed"

Don't use those words while talking about your present engine, you'll give it ideas 🤯😜

Down my leg :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Theft? 🤔🤪

Its going somewhere 🤔. J

No No stop :stars: Too late I need to get changed again:(:(

if it's the same unit👍

No need for a sniff test then 🫣

I It does yes and into a tube built into the casing. It goes to the right and down the tank side edge to underneath. 👍

I've got plenty of leakage :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Try tightening the nuts up , any sign of leakage? 🤔 🤭

I'll be gad when you've sorted this out Kermit as all the talking about leaks keeps making me run to the loo :stars: :stars: 😁

not that theres any wet(or dried) evidence

yep thats perfect but wrong :D took the cap off when it was cold, no pressure (good) took the cap off when it was hot, no pressure (bad) topped it up when it was cold, no pressure. messed with the cap and put it back on when it was still cold, no...

Let me see If I can explain myself thinking. When you top it up/fill it you do so with no pressure in the system 👍. When you put the cap on you are not trapping any pressure👍. Now if you put the cap on with it warm/hot, cos you were running it...

From that description, it's knackered.

sounds like its failed/failing

i nobbed about with the cap for a while last night.. parked at work this morning and there was some pressure in the system! so i think that proves its a dodgy cap

Newspaper test - roll up a newspaper and slowly insert into the viscous fan. When cold it should stop the fan turning but as engine warms it should get more resistance and try to shred the newspaper. (Free when cold - locked when hot) Careful to...

It should roar like a tank on start up then go quiet then roar again when it gets hot. just because its turning does not mean its working right.

That's definitely not something I'd like to even try 😜😂

Like a P38A but everything is a little higher.

if you don’t have sunroof 😂 unless p38s can do backstroke

P39?

Just renewed the engine oil and filter. So annoying there's no dipstick
