TD5 Coolant loss

<< < (2/3) > >>

freelanderpx54:
Squeal has died down to a hardly noticable tone. I have pulled the trim from around the radiator and everything is as it should be. Will try the K seal though

Cheers

--- Quote from: "freelanderpx54" ---My Disco has been in need of regular coolant top ups and as I haven't been able to go and buy some anti-freeze I have been using water. Yes, I know it is very naughty but these things happen. There was a problem with coolant escaping  from the top hose (next to the temp sensor) which I sorted out.

Co-incidentally mine has developed the same split hose a couple of days ago (if you mean by the sensor on the block)

The hose-clip had sheared on its underside, which I didn't know until I removed it to replace it with a jubilee clip.

Thankfully my hose still seems to be water-tight after 4hours+

The hose wasn't split, the clip holding it on wasn't positioned correctly so it was allowing coolant to get past. There was a lot of solid gunk on the pipe on the block

Mine was split

No mine was okay, apart from the residue left on top of the water-pump (in the air-con mounts)
