......and then there were two!!!
Reply #15 –
So heres a quick update....
Been driving the TC daily now for about a week now and no major issues...until yesterday morning. Running down the highway I started to smell coolant...not good....but at least I was only about a mile and a half from work. Once in the parking lot, I popped the hood and all I saw was steam from the passenger side. The small connector hose under the turbo between the steel lines sprung a leak....oh yay!!
After it cooled down and I could get underneath it, I found that someone had, at some point and time, put a new hose on it...apparently with the manifold off the car because there was NO way unscrew the clamps off in a normal manner. (clamps were 180-degrees off from normal access) Thankfully I work at a machine shop and had access to some really handy tools!! After a struggle...some profound words......alot of sweat....and coolant up to my armpit, I got it repaired!! The whole time I kept thinking: "A 5.0 wouldn't have THIS issue!!!" LOL
I need to refrain from thinking of a 5.0 conversion on this car...it's supposed to be my DD/gas mileage ride!!! Oh well, so far so good with my quick repair!!
Later, RAY
