I'm trying to identify what the cause is on my 1.6d of water bubbling up and releasing from header tank.
My temp guage needle doesn't work but the red led will flash if no liquid in expansion tank behind the number plate. If that helps at all.
I've not heard the fan kick in recently.
And I have just a couple of days ago fitted a thermostat in the hope that it was that that was causing the problem.
However the old one also worked when I tested it after removal.
There doesn't seem to be any play on the water pump pulley wheel and it turns with the belt and engine running.
I let air out of system until liquid came out of rad bleed bolt. But unsure if system is fully bled as only emptied a little water when I removed thermostat housing. And bled and refilled on my jack jones.
Bottom of radiator is warm.
water inside the header tank drops slightly when revved up.
I am far from a mechanic and am panicking now because I have to use the van to go drive from North Wales to Somerset for Glastonbury in two weeks time.
So time is of the essence as I only have about 4 days spare to diagnose and fix.
I would love to hear your view and thoughts please to help me in what seems to be a nightmare.
I've also taken some pics of the engine bay. Maybe someone could point out what is what thats relevant please.
Also after looking at the back of the dash unit I noticed the circuit next to the right pin (of the 3 pins top centre) is damaged.
And there's some blue tape on a wire too. No idea what the wires for tho. And a flappy circuit bit you'll see near by it on the left. I believe it is normally lay across the other side of the circular circuit.
Please help
I'm so desperate.
