hi all.
I’ve just fitted a replacement radiator on my new van and the new radiator has an extra pipe outlet that I can’t
identify...
It has a large bore pipe from the water pump and another smaller pipe that I think is the pipe that separates any air from the system...
Then at the base of the expansion tank there is another pipe sticking out towards the radiator...
It’s a 13mm bore pipe tube and I can’t work out where (if anywhere) it goes...
I plan to blank this off as my old radiator doesn’t have this pipe at all...
But I’m wondering what it does or whether it’s just an expansion tank drain tube...
I’m also having a job finding a pipe that won’t rupture or leak when the pressure goes up when the engine is running...
Clear tube has failed
Garden hose fits but I’m unsure it will hold up when hot or pressurised...
Any ideas greatly appreciated...
Thank you in advance for your help.
