Cooling system quest ;-)
« on: January 27, 2010, 11:35:05 AM »
Guys, I really need your help. Can you show me the place or places on picture which I showed wrong.
There is a numbers and letters here on drawing. Can you show me the mistakes by "point-to-point" position and what will be between this points for real. Thanks a lot in advance. Just, I can't understand how my cooling system is works at present.

The present situation of my cooling system is shown on this scheme. I think some tubes has a wrong point of connection. But may be I am wrong with this idea.

Need your friendly help. ;-)



p.s. Sorry for the bed english. Generally I use the translator software to tell you my story.

About the only thing I can see thats wrong is 4 should go to 9 and 6 to10 the fact that top and bottom radiator hoses go into the same manifold is a bit odd also normally the thermostat opens and coolant flows into the top of the radiator and the waterpump pulls coolant into the engine from the bottom outlet of the radiator BUT having said that ,yours might be set up for the extreme cold weather .The heater system seems to be set up right . Hope that helps        Cheers Neil

Neil Thanks.
I will keep in mind your ideas. Just trying to understand the cooling system on my van.

One more question: What do you think about position of thermostat on picture? May be it must be showed a little closer to engine (between 5 and 6)? Or in straight on 5?

The thermostat is normally on the engine at the highest point of the cooling system   cheers Neil
