warranty issue

[jasn78]

ok guys isnt an issue yet but the company involved it probably will be, i have a small radiator leak from somewhere. my question/ worry is what parts you reckon they can blame of my mods for the leak? cause i cant c how anything could but im just getting ready for any come backs when they b/s me

[Flaps]

FMIC, it blocks the airflow to the radiator causing extra heat stress?

[Guy_H]

depends - what if a rock hit it?

[jasn78]

flaps that was my thought to but how can that cause a loss of fluid?

[jasn78]

and btw my temp gauge does not move from 90 so if it was heat surely that would increase?

Is it stuck on 90?

[jasn78]

nah mate it goes up to 90 def not stuck on it

yours will do the same sam.

are you talking about your oil temp gauge on your instrument cluster jason. it goes up to 90 when you turn the car on and never moves from there. if someones does otherwise, i'd love to know about it.

its not an engine temp gauge.

[jasn78]

rhys the gauge ur talking about is water temp not oil temp. well i thought it was anyhow

[RhysQ]

actually you could be right..... my bad

[Whubbsie]

actually you could be right..... my bad

I was going to say has to to be water temp... not many cars come with oil temp gauges do they?

[GTIJNR]

Same thing with my polo... Just put everything back to standard n go for warranty claim, shouldn't be a prob. Got its done in one day, they have a rad in stock, how coincident.

They will not cover a rock through the coil... they will cover the welds splitting between the core and the end tanks....

And it's an engine temperature gauge

[jasn78]

i def cant c it being a rock since i have a front mount sitting in front of it. im just wondering if i should get my mechanic to have a look first cause i dont trust the dealer and i def dont trust their mechanics with my front mount and putting it back on.

Yeah, that sound like a good idea...Why not pay Jimmy Mac a visit and see what he says??
