Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day, but give him a case of dynamite and soon the village will be showered with mud and seaweed and unidentifiable chunks of fish."
Yes, I thought that was it. It's a 14mm, I removed it and nothing happened. I will try poking a peice of wire in there. Thanks fot that.
I got a funny feeling it could be clogged with sludge as the coolant was just clear water and brown rust in the overflow bottle which I cleaned out with little stones, when I first got is 3 months ago.
I am hoping it is'nt clogged up with Cargo Seal-Up, Bars Leaks or some other stuff from the last owners attempt to hide a leaky head gasket before selling it?!?
Seems to be a bit of that going on these days, it's the 3rd 6 cylinder car I've had and all had head gaskets on the way, which you find out a few months done the track. I think when people hear that bubbling in the dash noise, it's time to move it on...
Thanks Stumpjumper. This is exactly where it is.Originally Posted by Stumpjumper
Removed the bolt, and poked a stiff wire in there then it started to trickle out. Not fast enough, so I put in a flat blade screwdriver and 'lo and behold' it all started gushing it.
It had RUST and corrosion blocking up the hole. I bet it was the first time thats been done before, the whole bottom of the container was full of little bits of rust...I wonder what state the head gasket is in after seeing that...just the same i would bet. Thanks again.
hahahahaha yeah ok, I'll give it a go and see what she says
Can anyone pls provide a part number for that bolt, Nissan Village Strathpine people swear they have never heard of it and mine ids getting a round head slowly... Oh also they sold me a wrong bolt - by the time I got to use it (coolant change) I realised it was way wrong size, too small :-( I have the service manual but no part numbers just torques.
Part number anyone, TB42S 1991? MANY THANKS!
