burst coolent pipe
« on: 29 April 2012, 19:14:26 »
was driving up the road yesterday, seen wile smoke from exhaust in my rearview then temp hand shot up. so stopped car straight away, opened bonnet and got myself a nice wee sauna going :-\
anyway got car home after bout 2 hours (this only happened 4 mile from my house) got a good look round and seen that the pipe running from the HBV into the engine had a inch gash in it (is this common) got car a stripped back today and replaced pipe, coolent etc everything seems ok but what are chances i havent done the engine any damage,
i let the car cool down etc before putting any water in her but i fear damage my have been done.

Try it and see mate ;)

If its the "curly" pipe from HBV to coolant bridge then I've had one go on the Estate (pinholed at bottom and really hard to spot.

Try cleaning ICV mate - check first it's fully inserted into plenum mate.

If ok check for air leaks :y
