i have just fitted a new alloy header tank and swirl pot and would like a piece of advice please. The small hose from the top of the swirl pot back to the header tank, is there supposed to be a continual flow of water back to the tank or is it just a sort of breather pipe. and what is best for cleaning these items to keep them nice and shiny
Thanks very much

 

no flow of coolant just lets hot spots back to header tank,keeping clean,when you find a good product let me know

i have a continual flow back to the header tank ??????

 

Autosol is the best i reckon, you can get it from Halfords etc.. I also get a coninual flow generally after a bit of hard driving..

 

Ian, Have you got the Pot mounted upside down?? Sounds like you may have as you have a constant flow from the breather spout on the 'What should be the top' of the pot.
