Hey guys
my cossie has always been temperature at bang on half and then slightly higher but still within the bracket after some serious driving , even in summer (and I’m in Australia and that’s 35+ degree driving on the regular)
but since refurubing the turbo and refitting , the temp gauge has never gotten back to half , always slightly under , and I noticed the last time I had driven I heard hissing u der the bonnet and noticed the header tank had coolant out of it .
it’s the original Header tank and cap but have replacement but I’m thinking worst case head gasket but have absolutely no signs anywhere else , pressure tested the car less than 10000 kilometres ago and was all good ?
Any thoughts or anyone had anything similar after fitting a new turbo ?
I thought maybe the coolant return hose from the turbo or the banjo not incorrectly fitted ?
any help be great don’t fancy doing a head gasket if can be avoided
thanks
