Have a lot of water comming out of the back of my R32's engine, any idea what it could be? Looked top & bottom but cant figure out what it is. Dont want to pull the intake etc off yet.

If its welsh plugs, do i have to pull the engine? :P

Most of the waters off the shaft & a bit off the gearbox

Grab a mirror and a good flexi light and have a good look under the intake plenum. You have a heap of pre-heat type hoses under there. Also have a good look at your heater hoses at the intake and firewall.

As for replacing the welch plugs in the car some can be (if your willing to pull nearly everything off which is a pita) and some can't be (back of the head).

I feel your panic (and pain). lol

Cheers

havent found the problem yet :D anyone know where i can get the part number for the coolant hoses? might as well replace them while there out.

Found a few vac(?) lines not connected, anyone know how these 3 are hooked up? Dont think they have been connected for a while so not sure

mate they look like the coolant hoses for the heat exchanger not vac lines

and you need a new camera :-)

Its a crappy camera phone :laughing-smiley-014:

You sure? i certainly didnt disconnect them & the coolant was only dripping down not heaps like would come out of those tubes. + they look to be on this diagram, but of course it doesnt show how they connect up

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
