Radiator Problem!
Radiator Problem!
I installed a 50 Trim Turbo Kit and i had to temporary take out the rear radiator fan for clearance issues! The car first seemed fine but everytime i turn off the car after a drive, the radiator starts letting out alot of antifreeze from a buttom radiator hose that points down. Is this normal?
What exactly is the clearance issue? Does the fan shroud hit the turbocharger compressor housing, or the wastegate etc.? Can your problem be solved by switching to a slimline fan, or a thinner core radiator such as the CBRD unit, or a half core radiator?
Is the coolant escaping from the radiator overflow container which has a drain hose which is routed down to the ground? Obviously your coolant system is running hotter temps. How much hotter? Install a coolant temperature gauge!
