Hi guys, ok so the mechanic I took my P12 to said I had a leaky oil pressure sensor and showed me where it was, I ordered one, it arrived (without any washer or gasket) so today I tried to fit it. Can you imagen my surprise when I unscrewed it and coolant started gushing out of the hole? I put it back in but now I know the cylinder head is empty of coolant, I have tried running the engine to get it to circulate but instead of the air coming out of the top of the radiator I get coolant. The air bleed nut on the pump is below where I suspect my coolant level is so I am loath to crack that. My question is if I leave the engine idling for 10 mins or so will the air work its way round to the radiator and out so I can top it up again? Because as it stands the radiator is showing full (coolant visible when I remove the cap). Advice? Many thanks Paul K. ------------- I think therefor I am. |

Thats what this "mechanic" said was at the front of the engine leaking the oil I could see, but as I said it turns out to be the water temp sensor, so not only did I buy the wrong thing its not even the system he told me it was. So now I also have a coolant problem to go with my oil problem..... you cant write this stuff lol Paul K. ------------- I think therefor I am. |

Paul. Squeeze the bottom hose, that should send air to the top.  ------------- Roy |
