Can anyone tell me the capacity of the cooling system in the 2.5D Boxer engine please?
Thanks in advance,
Deuce

Couldn't see it here but you may like to put it to favourites anyway, a google search might give you something.

Thanks but I can't seem to find anything conclusive and the Hand Book is useless.
Just have to keep looking.....

Think I've found it!!
It appears to be 13 litres :thumb:

Why do you want to know anyway?

I have a very slight weep from the Heater Core I think as it smells strange and mists up the screen slightly.
I wanted to know how much K-Seal to put into the system to seal it.

Ah, I see, you must view radiator sealants as a "get you out of jail" measure, they tend to restrict flow. Much better to get a proper repair done rather than risk damage at a more inconvenient time.

Boxer 2.5D

I have had the same problem recently and having no success using a leak-stopper, I explored replacing the heater matrix myself but decided to get a garage to do a replacement. The cost was approximately £350 inclusive. It would seem that to gain access to the area, the lower dash and gear linkage had to be removed.

There's quite a bit of useful information here

Although it's a 1.9D, the principals are the same.

That's less than I thought it would cost to be honest.

On the contrary, having just had my current work contract end somewhat abruptly I view it as an "All I can afford to do at this moment in time" measure!

Between £35 - £85 for a new matrix. If you are ok with spanners, then give yourself a couple of hours, couple of skinned knuckles and a breath or two of that blue air stuff, and you will be permanently fixed with no nasty bursts at the wrong moment......and don't forget, being trapped in a recovery truck with a wife returning from an aborted holiday is never a good idea!

Now THAT I understand.
