Re: Leaking Coolant Level Sensor

Put the heater on full heat when replacing the coolant / bleeding. Also, the main bleed thingy is against the firewall. On the 4.5 at least, but pretty sure the 4.8 will be very similar. Thank you Ian. Seems someone had some sense wth the 4.8 and moved it to a more accessible point: https://www.pat...

Re: Leaking Coolant Level Sensor

Okay, I am really confused. I replaced the water loss sensor housing. All sorted, no leaks. I have bled the cooling system by removing both the radiator cap and the bolt in the bleed aperture in front of the intake manifold. With the engine running, water pumps out the bleed hole and the radiator ca...

Re: Iron Man 12000lb winch value?

But all the issues he had was with the solenoid/control box, not the winch itself. Having said that, the winc...

Re: Leaking Coolant Level Sensor

Hi guys, Okay. Issue identified. Second pic shows the crack in the coolant loss sensor adapter housing. Crack is also visible from the inside. The crack is consistent with the leak. The likely cause of the adapator cracking is apparent from the first picture. The hose ID is 33mm. Must have taken som...

Re: Leaking Coolant Level Sensor

Thank you Ian, thank you Peter. It's definitely the MadMan unit. That's Brian Cotton. I actually know him, although I haven't seen him for some years now. I'll see what the siuation is when I have the thing apart and then decide from there what I need to do. BTW, Tinus is an absolute biscuit. New ho...

Re: Leaking Coolant Level Sensor

Welcome back Clem! Firstly, I know of a couple of these plastic fittings that have failed. Usually the threads around that bolt, but I have heard of at least one where the plastic itself cracked. I would remove and clean everything and have a good look. If all the parts seem good, and it is just le...
