K-Seal Coolant Leak Repair 236ml

Product Information

There is no need to drain and flush the cooling system before use; Coolant seal mixes with all types of antifreeze, however if you believe that other additives or similar products have been used prior to using Coolant Seal we recommend flushing the system. Do I need to flush the cooling system after using Coolant Seal? I’m delighted that you have made such a good start already and many thanks for the photos. It really shows the benefit of your approach of prospectively replacing the things that are likely to fail and about a non-KWE car: Mr J.H., Birmingham, KWE K12 Take your car out for a spin and carefully watch the temperature gauge. You don’t want to go too far from home just in case the fix didn’t work. The underside of the filler cap is covered in a mayonnaise-like substance – although this is more likely to be caused by condensation if the car is only ever used on short journeys. On top of this, if the engine is not performing correctly due to coolant loss and its associated effects then you will be receiving reduced engine performance, higher fuel consumption and higher emissions. What You Can Do?

When this happens, the engine starts to overheat. If you leave it unrepaired, you could cause serious engine damage. 4. Leaking Intake Manifold Gasket If you have oil leaking in to coolant, Coolant Seal will be unable to affect a repair as it cannot repair oil leaks. It is possible that Coolant Seal may react with other products or additives in the system. If you are unsure we recommend flushing the system before use. I have accidentally added Coolant Seal to the oil / fuel, what should I do?

What causes internal car coolant leaks?

The key to fixing the leak is to find it first. There are multiple ways we handle these problems as professionals, so here are a few tips. 1. Pressure Test The System A coolant leak has a distinct smell and color, making it unmistakable from other fluid leaks. If you notice antifreeze dripping from the vehicle or the reservoir seems to be emptying, it’s time to fix your car. If there’s a leak, but you can’t figure out where it’s coming from, you want to run a pressure test. Here are the steps to follow.

Additionally, your car radiator endures tons of the stress from extreme temperature and moisture. Eventually, it’s going to start corroding. If fluid is leaking from the radiator, there’s a good chance that there’s a hole causing the problem. 7. Blown Head Gasket

Dear Chris, Please accept and pass on my thanks to you and your team for the work you have undertaken on my Facelift XJS. \\\'The car has been transformed and is a pleasure to drive, this wouldn\\\'t have happened without your care and attention to detail Mr J.F The Royal Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire

Coolant leaks are almost always progressive in nature and are often a precursor to more serious issues. Loss of coolant will result in overheating and eventually major damage such as head gasket failure. A failing water pump will not circulate coolant as efficiently as is required to maintain the correct working of your vehicle. If your water pump is old or showing signs of wear replace it before this leads to further problems. I am absolutely thrilled with the new gearbox and transmission. The inside of the car is a real joy too and lovely to live with. I was also pleasantly surprised at the number of appreciative looks, waves, hoots, and comments during the journey eg is that really an A reg?… Well done. Mr M.D., Andorra, XJ6 Upgrade A garage can use a gas analyser to detect a head gasket leak. It tests for hydrocarbons (unburnt fuel) in the coolant system. If there is any present the gasket is blown.Once solidified the material cannot be washed away or, as far as we know, dissolved in anything. It becomes a clay-like pudding which can only be scooped out by hand having removed the cylinder head(s). Physical force with a water hose can dislodge the heater matrix clogging, but if there’s any of the material left in the system it will simply clog up again. If the coolant level is dropping and there is no external leak evident, then the coolant is probably leaking internally, into the engine. There are a couple of reasons why your car's coolant level might be low, and a leak won't always be to blame. Clamps are responsible for holding the radiator hoses in place. These clamps can come in multiple forms, sometimes spring clamps are used, while other vehicles use wire clamps or screw and band clamps. Yes, coolant seal can be used with all common types of antifreeze. What are the symptoms that Coolant Seal can help with?
