Well, I was about to take the head off to change the gasket, but no find that the coolant leak is from what looks like a core plug on the No1 Cylinder right at the front (on the RHS) that has let go.
Bloody manual doesnt show anything, is it an easy fix?
-
yup.knock it out, clean up the hole and put a knew one in basically.
-
Wow super fast reply, do I need to take the cylinder head off and if so do I need then to replace the head gasket
-
nope. as long as you can get to access to it to get it out and get one back in and a hammer and centre punch to it, you should be ok. ( got to admit tho never done one on a diesel)
-
If you can get to it you are VERY lucky - and just change it.
If you needed to remove it to change it then you must do the head gasket - and you should change all the plugs (others are likely to be in similar condition, but shove antifreeze in and hope they don't go)
