Heater Hose Disaster!
Driving home from work yesterday and noticed the TEMP gauge needle went OVER the top indicator. As I was deciding how to pull over from the middle of traffic I quickly flicked over the heater to let fluid in and give some relief.
That's when the hose burst and flooded the cabin with hot steam and over me too.
How do you decide whether to use the brakes or save your own skin? (literally!).
Managed to do both with only a very small scolding - guess who got a lift home in a tray tow truck?
Anyway.... as you can see in the pic this was a consequence not a cause.
I did a compression test this afternoon 1:160, 2:125, 3:115, 4:140 - leaning towards head gasket but there's no contamination in the oil and the plugs looked ok.
Possibly a failed thermostat caused it.
Any ideas?
