Title: Engine cooling
Post by: nate valve on 21 October 2010, 15:39

On my mk3 8v the block that attaches to the engine and runs from engine to radiator is leaking. does anyone know what this bolt on connector is called so i can get a new part. it has the expansion tank connected to it and it also has a pinkey coloured residue around it????

coolant flange :)
do the side one while you're there, unless its been done recent. if 1 flange is weeping the other wont be far behind!

thank you, having to top up the expansion tank every 10 days or so bit of a pain
