Hello

I have just had a recon engine fitted because the radiator water was dissapearing at an alarming rate, turned out head gasket had gone and there was a crack in one of the cylinder liners.

Recon engine fitted and radiator water is still dissapearing! Seems odd I still have the same problem?! Has anyone any ideas please?

And I want to check the engine number on the replacement, does anyone know where it is please?

A: Thanks Jay for poiting that out

Thought if he knew the power output that may help. Is it not printed on a sticker like the 1.9TDI? Obviously not on the CAM cover

Hows the oil? Any 'mayo'? Could be water pump or oil cooler if so?

What parts were swapped over from your old engine? I assume with the recon engine you got the head too?

Seen it on the engine on the front right hand side I think

its my dads van its the 130 2.5 tdi

I think he is trying to establish where the engine number is on the engine itself, do you know?

were not sure what was included with the reconditioning, would it normally include the water pump?

thanks very much for the posts guys!
