engine section???
by vaux_2 on Tue Apr 13, 2010 8:21 pm
Help, can anyone tell me why the engine section is inaccessible? Really need to find the post in there on engine coolant so i can refill mine before it gets dark, otherwise i'm walking to work in the morning
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Posts in that section were moved to the appropriate dedicated engine section two or three weeks ago

Doh! Any ideas where i can find the in depth instructions then to refill the coolant? had to replace a hose so lost quite a bit and need to refill. Had a hunt and running out of daylight now!

well, just went to hell with it and filled it up. Disconnected hose, filled up rad, put coolant back down disconnected hose and reconnected. Topped up expansion bottle and it seems ok after a quick run. Fingers crossed its ok after work runs tomorrow

The posts where distributed to the relevant engine areas, so say it was for bleeding the fuel on a 2.2dti the post would have been moved to 2.2 diesel, or what oil do you use in a 2.8, that would have went to 2.8 section.
If the OP didnt have a make in the post the sig was checked for their model and if relevant the thread would have been moved to that section.
