Club 80-90 Forums

Just broke down in a cloud of steam
On having a look, the "lid" of the aux water pump has disapeared? Hopefully the AA man will Carry one, or at least a coupler to bypass it so I can carry on camping.......
Fingers crossed I haven't shagged the head

Where are you ?...If close by maybe a 80-90 rescue could be organised if needed

I'm on the back of AA truck now, they won't fix it on a bypass. So being towed off, then hopefully fixed.......

Being towed home as I type. Really really really hope it hasn't cooked the head

How quickly did you stop? ie what was it that alerted your attention to the problem?

TDI time

Steam pouring out the back, 2 mins max of driving like that. Couldn't see a split pipe so refilled and it poured out the aux water pump. Quite a loud hissing noise from the head though, liking this facebook8090 cross forum typing

I'll eat my hat if the head's ok........but you never know.......worth a try. You can put your new shiny water pump on your TDI that way....

Could do you a special price on a 2.1 which has way more power and miles better mph that a dirty, smelly diesel!

Blimey, i'm quite tempted by that myself!

Not bad for the whole lot, you can pay £180 for just the Turbo and fanny mould.

Might well have to get something like in that link. Just got home and told the wife that I think I've blown the engine. And she just said ah well, we will have to get another
How busy's Russel?.....
