Yes. Did exactly that. After scraping and cleaning and rubbing back the heads & the inlet manifold with wet and dry, I wiped it down with wax and grease remover then when it was clean , fitted the MACE LIM gasket & the manifold. It took forever.

I just put a new temp sender in it , the one under the thermostat. Is that the only one?

No boiling or bubbling noises. Top radiator hose is firm

Update : took the VY for a test drive today. Went great for 145km. Then suddenly temp gauge shoots up , alarm goes off , "Engine Temp HOT" on dash. But comes back to normal running temperature within 20 seconds. Turn around heading for home. Temp needle creeps back up again 2 minutes later...

Help please. Cooling system pressure test = slowly losing pressure. Can't find any leaks or hissing noises. Engine compression test is constant 150 at operating temperature. New MACE inlet manifold gasket, new thermostat. When trying to bleed, it has occasional bubble coming up through the...

Thank u

So if I need to buy an inlet manifold gasket kit for a VY ecotec, I should get one to suit L36 ? ? ? ( even tho the engine plates on our 2002 VY wagon & 2003 VY 2003 ute both say LN3 )

Thanks heaps - you’re a legend !!

That would be awesome. Thank you very much

So could I ask for some help here please? We have acquired a 2002 VY wagon & a 2003 VY Ute , both with various issues so we need a scan tool, hopefully not too expensive. Would the Vident i400au be a good choice for my home mechanic partner? And would it work with an iPhone? Do I need extra...
