Hi Folks,
I thought at my age pulling out engines was long gone but here goes anyway.
I have a Dax Rush kitcar with a cossie engine, engine and gearbox being removed so I can work on the gearbox. At the back end of last year she was running rough when cold and rich when warmed up, removal is not easy as it's a tight fit. (Really tight)
As I was working my way around the engine removing various bits n bobs, I thought the cooling water flow route looked a bit strange, I decided to make a diagram of this route and ask for advice. The car has an old type temp gauge yet when I came to the temp sender ( next to the turbo ) there isn't any wires??????? I looked everywhere and there is definately no wires, so where the ECU gets its temp from beats me. Last year I fitted a sender unit in the main top oulet hose to the radiator and a digital temp gauge in the dash. I checked the reading prior to fitting in a pan of water on the stove with a large thermometer and it was pretty acurate. when on the road the temp does jump about a bit and can easily hit 102 degrees.
Last year I had a small leak around the stat housing whic I repaired and the stat was checked and tested then. The car does have a few more issues that I have still to get to, so I'm starting with the cooling first. Would anyone please like to comment



I have added some numbers to the diagram if it helps
