is your coolant a bit low?

is your coolant a bit low?

I was wandering about that, along with the windscreen washer bottle

 

[acidstrato]

But then how do you secure it in place? Or you move it, position air feed, then put the battery back?

It sits just above and to the left of one of the fans, getting air from/through the honeycomb...

the battery braket will hold it in place right up close to the PS bottle mate, no need to slide it back

i didnt think air passed through the honeycomb grills? i was under the impression they weren't hollow

Also another tip is do it to a cold engine. The problem with water in the electrics is caused by the condensation caused by the water hitting hot components

Yeah mine was cold but thats a good hint!

is your coolant a bit low?

Errm I dont think so? Will check

I never fill it right up, 6Ltrs of fluid weighs alot, but I try to keep it half way lol

Cool, I'll take a look

I know you're taking the piss now.... 3kg.

Do you fill up with fuel every 30 miles to make sure your fuel never goes above 3kg?

Whats up with you mate?

Ok so its only 3KG.. but its my choice whether I fill it or not, I know how much I use??

Fuel is used constantly, screen wash isn't?

You dont comment all thread apart from to point out an exageration of weight in fluid? Strange...

sorry

'wooo, doesn't it look nice'

I am able to read a thread & not make a comment, but the 3kg saving chuckled me

Righto I see your in a good mood then... don't worry about it.. I'll fill it up before I take pictures next time...and I'll make sure I go on google to accuratley find out how much 6Ltr's of water weighs....

No need for the sarcasm either IMO...

i've always believed it was for show, not actually functional. the centre grill certainly doesnt have any holes fella!

Wind your neck in, or get back out of bed the right side.. I'm ribbing you.

6L of water weighs 6kg... metric system revolves round it.

Hmm I cant say on that note but the sides deffo have holes mate!

I changed my Honeycomb over not too long before Christmas, so I am sure on that! lol

Mike

 

[acidstrato]

ok fella

 

[gazjones]

6L of screen wash us mk4 owners only get a 2 lt bottle its a joke!

 

[Molehill_Mike]

That means you only have to worry about 2Kg of weight

 

[TallFella]
