At the fist glance my cooling system looked pretty good… just peeking under the car with the flashlight when I bought the car… nice silver coolant tubes running along the bottom of the car… stainless steel already? - great! Radiator from the front and top.. black.. all straight!! Cool!! BUT: starting to tackle my electric issues I unbolted the inner fender off the right front fender facing the front … and what I saw was not pretty: the area on the bottom right of the radiator is green - leakage for sure…! As I was working on my brakes I was under the car and I discovered that the water pipes were painted silver, a bit deceiving for sure! Leak marks around the rubber connections …. Well, oh well… here is the next project !
I’m going for the whole 9 yards! Aluminum radiator leaning more forward, sucker fans, stainless steel tubes, new rubber hoses, water pump thermostat…
Because there is another project and thread attached to this one ( “heater core - keeping cozy”) and I would like to have some help with this I send my car to PIM on Friday and I will be there on Monday after dropping the kids of and with the help of Hans it should be not to bad…
