I have managed to free them before by running the engine with the top off the coolant reservoir, but that was with a pug 205, so I wouldn't advise it! |

Nope Tom, of that I'm sure. I've done about 10.000km since I bought in
April, and there was no leak, no oil in coolant water (that indicating that the 'engine head' is out) and nothing strange in performances. I'm arrived now from a 300km - trip to Switzerland, and Mary (that's my car ;-) was fantastic. The engine temp with lower outside temperatures went down, in certain points to about 70°C, with 9°C out. temp and a nice speed. I think that largerly depends on the out. temp, the humidity and the speed/rpm. But will check: I have to change brake pads and a part of the exhaust. Thanks all guys, Jacopo Bolzano, Italia Sportwagon 2.5 V6 |
