on the side of 75:(
 

I lost coolant like crazy so I just stopped, its probably leaking from not being installed properly but I didn't show any coolant on the floor.

No coolant on the ground or the floor of the car?

What wasnt installed properly you say?

I thought it was my expansion tank since I recently replaced it, but it turns out its my freaking HEATER VALVE!! Ahh damn that thing.

Good news:

Any auto store will have what you need to fix it.


Better news:

You don't have to remove the tail lights to fix it.

Yea ima call roger so I can pick one up locally, the betters news was random:p

Removing taillights to fix it... inside joke?

I'm not following..sorry:(:( I got it home safely though!

No. Its not a 991, or a 3000GT-VR4.


The kinds of cars where everything under the hood is easier to get at, thru the tail lights or glovebox.

For once take no notice of Speedtoys - the normally available valves are useless and failing very quickly. I have the valves that are direct Mercedes parts and do not fail.
Come and collect one or I can ship for less $ than the gas to come and collect it.

I'm going to pick one up roger, I'm closer to you from work, and I would have my baby up and running faster.

Ah geesh Rog..I said side of road repairs were EZ, not that the new polish plastic stuff was any _good_ for more than a day.


:)

Too late, car is broken, sell it to me. :D

do yourself a favor and replace the hoses as well.....

Jeff,

Oh you rotten SOB - so it was you who shot out my pal Hamilton's rear tire when he was leading the Brtish Gand Prix and spolied my race forecast in the local F1 club!- I think we Brits are gonna have to send the boys round to pay you a visit and duff you up a bit! :roflmao:

What do you think Roger?

Nice clip- clever editing- is there a sound track with the clip?- I couldn't pick anything up?

Haha, not in my dreams either..


I'm just getting started on this shark!:D

Replace ALL the coolant hoses that you have not yet replaced. Replace ALL the coolant hoses that you have not yet replaced. Replace ALL the coolant hoses that you have not yet replaced.


Perhaps not as important as "relay-relay-relay", but a few episodes of coolant loss and overheating is just tempting the capabilities of those 30+ year old head gaskets. Good thing for you it never really gets that hot in Tejas...




It will save you the time by the side of the road, and the need to keep buying replacement coolant.
