The Raven Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 As most of you know my car had a real overfuel issue. I sent to a memeber here who found the problem fixed it and a few other mistakes i made on the car. I got the car back unrunning after £1000 had been given and the car was gone for 8 months. There is somthing spilt on the bonnet (brake fulid?) thats has bubbled the paint. I let this go as all i wanted was the car back. So im told just bolt up the cam covers and fit the oil cap. So i check fuilds, fit cam covers and new battery and start her up..........all is well for about a minute then the car pukes this shit out! That was bright red coolent on checking it just before start up. I know you are reading this, so you can refund me the grand or the cost of fixing it. I trusted you i put up with loads of waiting and never hassled you and you have given me back a engine that was worse than when i gave it to you. So the question to other memebers is what the hell is that! oil from the head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Sorry to see this mate, I know you have had nightmares with your engine swap, so don't need anymore It looks like Oil can look when it gets mixed with Water/Coolant, but I have never seen that much of it Has the said member had the head off the block, what work did they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Yup told me the head was off to do the Vss, Maybe when you read this you would like to tell us all what you did to it? Could it be the autobox cooler? could that leak into the rad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 That looks like emulsified oil, possible head gasket. The auto box section of the rad could leak, have you pulled the dip stick/rad cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Dude, that's how mine looked this morning, but mine as more purple as it was mixed with Titan pro. Really sorry to see this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1983 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 That looks bad. Defo check your oil and see if its affected there too. Check oil cap and dip stick mainly. Is it the same like that on the rad cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 That's a massive amount of oil to be in the coolient!! Has the said member even put the head gasket back on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 That's a massive amount of oil to be in the coolient!! Has the said member even put the head gasket back on? I guess so as it started and ran like it was fine, for a bit. Then it puked all that crap out So next question whats the shell worth? im done I should add that before i took this to get fixed it never had this issue and was run all be it with overfuel for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 My God sorry to see this mate! Hope you get it sorted, you don't seem to be having much luck with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Rad cap had a little bit in it alot less that the header tank, it dumped that lot in less than minute. It will do, oil pressure is a lot higher than the pressure in the coolant system. It won't be oil from the head per se, oil drains from the head back to the sump. If the head has been off, now you have lots of oil in the header tank, 2+2 must make 4, bad times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 That's a sh*t load of oil mixed in with that coolant. I'd start a dispute thread mate. Was it a trader or just another member. 8 months for it to come back worse is shocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 If the head was that shot how on earth would it even run? Seen a head go before but this was instant The car continued to run as it spat this lot out? until i turned it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Really no point after seeing how that went for another memeber. I imagine it's all the mods would suggest as well, at least you should both be able to talk about it without input from others to try and rectify the situation.

The Raven Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 I would have thought a head gone that much would have caused a lumply run? or a none start? but everything was fine until it did that. So its one of two things. 1, The head was removed botched and put put back on. 2. The trans cooler in the rad is pissing fluid into the rad.
