>From: David [mailto:fjazzbass@gmail.com] >Any advice is welcome... do we have to check for exhaust in the coolant? >Dave >85 1.9 GL MT Dave, Another internal leak symptom the check if you have not located the source: Pull all four spark plugs, in order and compare their electrodes. A clean electrode, if present, will show itself compared to the normal grey to black oil/carbon of combustion. A clean spark-plug electrode is a sign of coolant getting into the combustion chamber. Subaru coolant conditioner has worked wonders for a number of folk on this list. Good hunting Dave. Phil z. On his rock off the west coast |
