Well in some one else’s post I mentioned that I have to change my thermo housing because I was loosing a bit of coolant. Never a simple job, never easy and quite involved but it’s great when it just grows into a bigger job. And I know it not my RCZ but it is the same, well everything.
So started with a bit of coolant loss, and having done the same on my Z about 2 years ago pretty much convinced where to head to, so looking down the gap indicated could see pink coolant on the gearbox, no other wet spots noted. Parts ordered and time found.
Having done this job a few times in the past I kinda was expecting some pitfalls, and I got them. Whilst taking the thermo out, heard dripping. Oh here we go.
So the bits below, thermo cracked and end of one pipe tail disintegrated and wear on the rad flow pipe, happy days, full hat trick.
having done these yokes before I had planned ahead re parts.
Because of the cross pipe and the rad flow pipe I have opted to pull the inlet manifold out to give a tiny bit more room. Yes it can all be done without taking the manifold out, but for the sake of 5 nuts and a couple of wires I opted for a bit of space. Just to put it all back together now. Will add bits and pieces to this post at a later point to show what to go through if any ones interested.
