WigannerSteve Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I am pulling what is left of my hair out here. My 2010 Transit Connect van was making a grindy bearing noise which I found to be the auxiliary belt tensioner, so I bought a pulley wheel and belt off Fleabay to replace them. Before I could get the job done, the water pump has decided to go and is leaking water out everywhere. I have ordered a new pump and coolant mix, but can only pick them up Wednesday even though the place is open tomorrow, and thought I would make a start dismantling the van to get a head start as I need it finished for Thursday morning as back in work. The expansion tank is a bleeping nightmare! Took the 10mm bolt out, but cannot for the life of me get it off the bloomin hook at the back, tried all sorts with screw drivers and everything but it will not come off? What am I not doing guys?

Proautocare Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Tilt the header tank away from you and pull upwards. That should do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a nightmare of a job, but I managed it in the end. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
