I've just re-fitted the heat exchanger.
There's a plastic connector underneath that transfers coolant from the engine to the heat exchanger which appears to be leaking, this is basically a plastic tube about 11/2" OD by about 4" long, one end pushes into a coolant outlet from the engine and the other is pushed into the heat exchanger and held in place once the H/E is secured in place. I've replaced both O rings and can't see how it can be mis-aligned with this arrangement. I've looked at a schematic for this part and can only see the 2 O rings. My assumption therefore is the bores need a good clean. Can anyone recomend what to use please?
Being that this tube is very close to the alternator belt and I've got restricted access to this area to actually try and see or feel for water is pretty impossible. Could the leak be coming from anywhere else?
Cheers
