Leaking pink stuff....
« on: 03 March 2012, 09:47:22 »
Hi folks,

A while ago I changed the coolant but now I have a small leak from the drain tap at the bottom of the rad... I don't just want to pull the plug out but, Is there a seal or O-ring in there that can be changed???  :-\

There are a pair of O rings in there. Not sure if they are available separately but I believe the complete plastic knob with seals is.

If they haven't been disturbed in a while they can disintegrate when the knob is turned.

Drop AndyC on here a line. I'm sure he'll be able to get hold of one if anyone can.

Tends to be the washer not the "O" rings.
Drain plug is 52463060 and the washer is 52462868

The washer isn't there to seal, it's just to stop the red plug from vibrating loose. The O rings are for sealing.


Oh! ??? That's my picture!!!  ;) ;D ;D ;D
