This Winter in 2009 I found out that the pre owner not has use Antifreeze.
So I bought Dex-Cool but was to lazy to change Cooling fluid. In January we had -20 degree. So what happend with Water by temprature around -0 degree? Right it froze.
First Time I saw it the enginge had survives. I thank we did'nt get this temprature again and I do nothing...
But we get -15 degree an the enginge froze again.
This was not good for the enginge the cooling water was flowing in the engine.
So here is the storie about my repair and find out the leakage.
First I heard about the flaw in the upper intake manifold, because it is consist of plastic. So I removed the upper intake manifold.
The flaw is the connection from down 2 holes to black hole, because there are water channels.
But there is nothing...
Upper intake manifold is ok...
So I removed the lower intake manifold, and I see the broken gaskets:
So I ordered the needed parts from Rockauto and waiting for parts, later continue...
