mk1 focus rs, ive read its a common fault whats best to replace it with? or am i best to going to ford and getting anther standard one? ino theres an exspensive one on pumaspeed site, but my car isnt a fire breathing 500bhp animal, its just standard? any one recommend anything?

 

Get yaself on the RSBB and look for a guy called Womble he makes them for Pumaspeed so sells them far cheaper.... The only other alternative is a Ford 1.

Are these alloy versions over the standard plastic one ?

 

The plastic 1's crack thus causing a leak (there have been several people who are on their 3rd plastic housing).... The alloy 1's arn't much more £££ and last a lifetime and are a direct replacement.

hi steveB thansk for your reply, but can you tell me what RSBB is?? is there a website?

thanks luke.

 

Www.rsownersclub.co.uk use the search function and search for username womble he's the man for the alloy housing

they go because there the weak link in the cooling system.excess pressure in the cooling system usually caused by the header tank cap not functioning right,get a stant pressure cap and std ford one.or go for a womble one,if he has any made as he makes batches of them,but there pricey
