The Joys of my SVX [not]BE WARNED!!!
Well a quick trip 1000 miles + to Alice Springs Australia brought disaster but i now know the answers to my overheating problems of days gone bye even if i now have to replace motor. After sitting on 100MPH + the coolant was leaking out of the heater coil and on slowing down cooked the remaining coolant in motor which seized twice. I refilled coolant and drove back to Adelaide refilling coolant at each stop got to 1 mile from home and BANG heater coil exploded into car not nice. Found motor [$1500] 40000 miles Jap import but wont pay $870 for heater coil what a rip off. Anyone got a spare going cheap? Also has anyone taken a heater coil out the workshop manuel is very short on directions to say least. I started to do job but lack knowledge in removing dash and dont see why dash is removed as coil seems to be behind centre of dash in line with centre console. Any clues please. Downunder but not beaten yet
I had same problem last trip and replaced water pump and thermostat |
