M47 Woes
Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2018 2:09 pm
Need some help from the wizards on the zone, I have a 320d M47 2005. For the past year I have noticed that the cooling system is pressurising more than it should. As I can see that the cap was throwing out coolant And I would need to top it up every couple of days, The car would never overheat.
I have finally got around to sorting the car, as I need my car for work I can’t take off the road for a couple of days. So I bought a secondhand M47 cylinder head, which was skimmed pressure tested new valve guides and acid dip. With the three hole gasket that was provided by the engineering firm.
I have done about 500 miles since fitting the reconditioned cylinder head and gaskets. I have noticed that the car is still losing a little bit of coolant, The pressure is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. But after spending all of this money on trying to fix the car it seems that I still have minor symptoms of the previous issue.
NOTE- car has DPF Delete, EGR system delete with blank
Can anyone provide some insight on this issue ?
Thanks!!!
