Coolant leak.

Post by wozmac » Mon Jun 19, 2017 12:38 pm

Looks like the Aux rads have give up the ghost. Coolant emptied completely, leak seems to be drivers side. I've been led to believe I can remove the aux and do away with them as they aren't required for the uk climate? Present weather excluded :lol:

Just ditch the drivers side radiator and throw in a cold air feed. This what I've done and even with ~30c on Saturday the engine temp gauge did not go over 12 o'clock.

I was thinking along those lines just wanted confirmation before going ahead.
Your rs is looking outstanding by the way.

Cheers.
