I've been losing a small amount of cooling fluid recently. About a cupful per month. No obvious leak signs. So today I got serious and got the under bonnet area really warm and then a 10 minute hot soak. When I opened the bonnet I heard a slight hiss from the Coolant Header tank and managed to...

Hello, only a short question. As the catalytic converter on my Alfa 2.0 JTS seems to be damaged, I am thinking about retrofitting an header of an old twin spark engine with one main cat below the car. motor faults because of the post cat lambdas shouldn't be a problem which cant be solved. But...

Hi all, noticed the other day that there was a hissing coming from the header/coolant tank filler. Surely it's supposed to be sealed, the engine wasn't that hot. The 'lid' is a metal gold coloured lid with fiat written on it. Is this the right one? The car doesn't heat up that well unless sat in...

Hi all As mentioned in a previous post the air filter bracket was loose on my new buy and has worn an alarming groove in the hose that links the bottom of the resevoir/header tank to what I think is the thermostat (note to self - must buy a manual from somewhere..). I looked on EB spares but...
