mwarrior Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Attempting to diagnose an overheating issue (mentioned on another post here), I took my radiator off to see if it is leaking or blocked. After noticing that no water leaks out when it is full of water, I noticed that when draining the radiator, no matter which way you turn it, at least a few liters are still remaining inside the unit. Is this something normal? That water stays in even if you tilt/turn it every way possible, or do I need to have it looked at by a radiator shop? That said, can most radiator or truck radiator shops deal with this or are the AFV/FV radiators very different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff66 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 when i had had the over heating issue on my ferret it turned out to be after lots of blind avenues the pressure/vacuum release device that sits on to of radiator not sealing correctly.

haybaggerman Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 so you had a lack of pressure in the cooling system? I have a leaky filler cap which would do the same thing I imagine. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff66 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 yeh no pressure in system fluid used to vent out of hull outlet allways topping it up now, temp gauge 180-185 no fluid out of hull outlet and system never seems to need topping up:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
