silvertop coolant leak help!

[Crampy]

Good to see another fix. Good on them for covering the costs.

[KwS]

Yeah, im VERY impressed and thankful to Miles for fronting up to the fault and covering the costs. I know a lot of workshops that would've made out it was nothing to do with what they did previously, and then hand me a bill.

Will definitely be dealing with them again.

I do agree though, that hose should really be done every waterpump change, just saves having to mess around with it later on.

[KwS]

Just to close this all up. Hose is fixed, no more coolant pouring onto the ground (staining it).

All costs were covered. They even cleaned the car, and shone the tires! VERY impressed

Much respect to Miles Toyota CHCH city. Car will definitely be going back there if it needs more work in the future. Would recommend without hesitation (im finding it hard to find any other decent workshops in chch, after many bad experiences)

Cheers for the help and advice guys, really helped me pin-point what the issue was and get a good resolution.

so just to clarify... it WASNT the headgasket?

wtf is the world coming to!

[Dell'Orto]

No clearly the headgasket failed, causing the hose to blow, but they secretly replaced the headgasket without telling him

[KwS]

oh those scallywags!

Now to tackle the next cause of my BHG.... my blown front speaker.

Just remove the inlet manifold and throttle bodies, is pretty easy once they are out of the way.

haha yeah bah, not THAT hard if you took it all off. I did it taking the trumpets amd housing off, tighter than a tight thing.

The slow leak and the doof killed my alternator, the hose was a bit bulgey but the shit metal clamps were the main cause of said leak.
