engine coolant dilema

Post by t25jj »

hi all i'm new to this forum having been a long time owner of a 68 bay window.
im currently in possesion of a T25(deluxe possibly,chrome trim/bumpers).
its a full 7 seater in brown exterior/caramel interior.
anyways my dilema is that it came with a knackered engine which has since been replaced but for some reason we cannot figure the cooling system out with regards to pipes and there whereabouts on said engine.
could anyone post/email me some pics as im starting to think this may be a different engine...
my email is jjyoung79@aol.com or alternatively post on here.
kind regards to all,jamie :ok

you probably are looking at a 1.9 petrol? two type one early and one late with different coolant setup.

pop up your location perhaps someone can come along and give you an idea

There are few differences between engines, not really up on Diesels but 2.1 and 1.9 engines had different coolant pipework but should be able to make it fit, in particular is the oil cooler which is a box that goes where the spin on oil filter goes it has a feed and return one coming from the pump to the cooler and then going to the thermostat housing. if your previous engine had the oil cooler and this one doesn't that might be the cause of your quandary.
heres a 1.9 but it has an LPG system fitted which means there will be a few pipes that wont match what you have.
