rivnog Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've got a focus tdci 52 plate with a slight leak of coolant coming from a plastic hose fitting bolted to the engine block with 3 bolts in a triangle shape. The plastic fitting is located by the dip stick it has a single large diameter hose coming out of it in a downwards direction at 45 degrees. Sorry for my poor discription but, My question is does anyone know what the fitting is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmt57 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 hi, from what you have described it sounds like it is the thermostate housing. the parts are not to expensive but can be a bit tricky to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivnog Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 i think your right it is the thermostat housing. Going the try some Bars Leak stopper first. Then maybe a local garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivnog Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 leak stopper worked for about 3 months but it's started losting water again..... I've now got a thermostat housing from a local breakers cost £10 so i'm going to have a go over christmas. I assume there is a gasket that goes between the engine and the housing?
