406 core plug leak 97 2.1 td

[StefanYHU]

Hey fellas,
After this cold winter I had to replace my radiator, once I changed it I filled up the system with collant only to find the coolant was pouring straight out of where I think the core plugs are.

I think the coreplug is beneath the fuel pump, am I right in sayin this? Is there an easy way to get at them?

thanks very much

Looks like you're right, there are a couple right where the pump goes:


13 - 023403 x10 PLUG-CORE DIAM 27

I'm not sure if there'll be an easy way to get to them if they're right behind the pump

Ahh bollox.

Thanks for the reply fella, anyone else any ideas?

[StefanYHU]

anyone?

12 and 13?

I reckon 13 'cos they're right where the pump goes. Not sure what sort of ideas Stefan wants - I presume on replacing the core plugs without removing the HP pump first
