Inlet manifold / coolant
« on: April 11, 2007, 10:06:16 »
I'm loosinig coolant out of a hole at the back of the inlet manifold. Its underneath at the back. I think it may just be a plug as there are no obvious pipes that go to it. The nice man at suzuki doesnt have a clue what its for.... Any ideas?

Ok, Thanks for that. I will have a look to see if thats it, Though I am convinced that this hole is further back on the inlet manifold not the thermastat housing. But I have been on the Magners since I last looked so it could be anywhere!!!!

I have wondered what this is for before as a result of doing my radiator R&I.  I figured it may well be a bleed plug for the cooling system but I didn't want to remove it without being sure!

Ok, Seen the pic and thats not the bit I'm on about. I'll try and get a photo during the week! The hole is facing down on the underside of the inlet manifold for the piston closest to the bulkhead! Doesnt seem rusty at all!

This is where on the manifold the hole is, But underneath. I have to climb under the zuke with my head behind the off side wheel to see it!
