Turbo coolant line question
do you think my car can make it 2k miles with a turbo coolant line that has a slight drip, when looking under the hood after a long drive theres only a little seepage, good enough for driving from florida to mass though right

Re: Turbo coolant line question
What engine are you talking about? On my 3B that line is nearly impossible to see and required the removal of the PS pump to R&R. On an MC engine that line is way easier to get to......
either way, fix it before you go, you've set the wheels of "Murphy's Law" in motion by mentioning it and it'll definitely fail on the trip...probably in the middle of nowhere...I can see and hear the mechanic now, spits a big 'ol brown luggey [sp? you know, tobacco juice]and says, "Ain't never seen one of them before, how much money you got boy?"
Have a good trip! Bob

Re: Turbo coolant line question
