Services Performed
- Confirmed client concern. Pressure testes system by hand and found it is completely empty and will not hold pressure. Filled system with water and attempted to test again but found it still would not hold pressure. Tested system with forced air and found all water immediately left system from somewhere on the rear of the engine but could not pinpoint source of leak visually. Removed intake boots, filled system with water again, and rechecked with forced air; found rear coolant pipe is leaking along seam. Recommend completely replacing coolant pipe and seals.
- Pressure tested and found coolant leaking from seam on rear pipe. Removed intake boots for access. Removed coolant adapter and pipe as one piece. Installed new pipe and adapted with new o-rings. Filled coolant with vacuum and test drove to verify repairs.
