00:00:00.410 this is the 300tdi radiator I've added a 00:00:03.88900:00:03.899 container for a long time and there's a 00:00:06.05000:00:06.060 fault with it the radiator doesn't leak 00:00:09.10000:00:09.110 everything's good all the little hoses 00:00:11.08900:00:11.099 are good but whoever put this radiator 00:00:16.46000:00:16.470 in didn't fasten that there's two steel 00:00:20.06000:00:20.070 pipes that come off in like like this 00:00:23.35900:00:23.369 and the clamp together here in that sort 00:00:26.72000:00:26.730 of this area with the little special 00:00:28.46000:00:28.470 clamp whoever put it in didn't fasten 00:00:31.73000:00:31.740 the clamp up what happened was the pipes 00:00:35.54000:00:35.550 were allowed to vibrate I thought I'd do 00:00:37.94000:00:37.950 this little insert in here as well just 00:00:39.86000:00:39.870 to show you what I'm trying to talk 00:00:41.60000:00:41.610 about this these pipes here 00:00:43.56900:00:43.579 are off a 200tdi because they've got the 00:00:47.95900:00:47.969 old type fittings on corns if you see 00:00:50.42000:00:50.430 them a new o-rings but the principle is 00:00:52.54900:00:52.559 still the same this is the clamp I was 00:00:54.79900:00:54.809 talking about so this is for your top 00:00:56.24000:00:56.250 pause this is for your bottom pause at 00:00:58.31000:00:58.320 the bottom bottom connector but this 00:01:00.29000:01:00.300 bracket will keep those pipes together 00:01:03.08000:01:03.090 many many times I say that's missing 00:01:05.63000:01:05.640 what happens is because of the weight of 00:01:07.94000:01:07.950 those pipes it flexes and will crack you 00:01:11.30000:01:11.310 won't call the paper now will on a brass 00:01:14.85900:01:14.869 old-fashioned type of radiator that's 00:01:17.74900:01:17.759 not too bad you can get away with it but 00:01:20.14900:01:20.159 on these sadly no because what happened 00:01:24.01000:01:24.020 over a period of time with vibration the 00:01:27.80000:01:27.810 oil cooler cracked inside and he was 00:01:30.31900:01:30.329 getting oil into the water big time but 00:01:34.10000:01:34.110 funnily enough it wasn't going the other 00:01:35.27000:01:35.280 way I think it was cuz the pressure was 00:01:37.21900:01:37.229 higher and it was forcing it out like 00:01:39.49900:01:39.509 this so we had to replace the radiator 00:01:40.91000:01:40.920 so this is scrapped because you cannot 00:01:44.23000:01:44.240 take these parts off to do any repairs 00:01:48.44000:01:48.450 you've got to cut them so that's what 00:01:49.99900:01:50.009 I'm gonna do today I'm gonna scrap this 00:01:51.44000:01:51.450 radiator so I'm gonna cut cut along here 00:01:54.56000:01:54.570 with the grinder with a slitting disc 00:01:56.92000:01:56.930 take this piece off see if we can get 00:01:59.99000:02:00.000 this you know taken out and then we'll 00:02:02.87000:02:02.880 put the pressure tester on all the the 00:02:06.28900:02:06.299 smoke machine and see where the crack is 00:02:10.54000:02:10.550 it's just out of curiosity but I just 00:02:13.04000:02:13.050 want you to 00:02:13.61000:02:13.620 that when you put these aluminium cord 00:02:16.43000:02:16.440 radiators in they are extremely fragile 00:02:18.52000:02:18.530 and especially in this little horse here 00:02:23.25900:02:23.269 because that's what happens to him you 00:02:25.85000:02:25.860 just have to knock them and they come 00:02:27.61900:02:27.629 off really easy and once they've done 00:02:29.15000:02:29.160 that 00:02:30.16000:02:30.170 this is scrapped so let's get cutting 00:02:37.47900:02:37.489 whenever you're cutting out the iminium 00:02:39.67000:02:39.680 dust mask always it's nasty stuff so 00:02:44.60000:02:44.610 let's see what we can get into here 00:02:46.52000:02:46.530 oh look at that 00:02:53.58900:02:53.599 look at the oil in here look at that see 00:02:56.69000:02:56.700 how it's all gonna look can you see 00:03:01.69000:03:01.700 and there's the oil cooler boot look 00:03:05.03000:03:05.040 much it's just a tube well I'll gonna 00:03:08.24000:03:08.250 take this out of here 00:03:09.47000:03:09.480 yeah I'm gonna take this out of here and 00:03:12.11000:03:12.120 we'll clean it up and we'll have a look 00:03:13.61000:03:13.620 at it but let's have a look at the 00:03:14.96000:03:14.970 radiator you can see that the radiator 00:03:21.34900:03:21.359 here has had the gasket in now because 00:03:25.52000:03:25.530 it's rubber it swelled up to nobody's 00:03:27.65000:03:27.660 business because the water comes in one 00:03:29.96000:03:29.970 side goes across can we see this better 00:03:34.03000:03:34.040 so the water comes in one end goes 00:03:40.81900:03:40.829 across and then back through the other 00:03:43.09900:03:43.109 side if you see what I mean just to try 00:03:45.31900:03:45.329 and explain this a bit clearly it seems 00:03:47.12000:03:47.130 that they use the same gasket both ends 00:03:51.25900:03:51.269 so you've got a is the end cover is the 00:03:54.80000:03:54.810 other end off so water comes in here and 00:03:57.28900:03:57.299 then it goes through the radiator that 00:03:59.87000:03:59.880 way around and back through here and you 00:04:02.30000:04:02.310 say there's a little battle in there 00:04:04.81900:04:04.829 well that's where that rubber gasket 00:04:06.40900:04:06.419 goes obviously now it's add oil in it it 00:04:08.93000:04:08.940 don't do anything so I just wanted to 00:04:10.90900:04:10.919 put that piece in this video it does a 00:04:13.37000:04:13.380 loop but that's quite a mess and you can 00:04:19.06900:04:19.079 see inside there let's have a little bit 00:04:21.11000:04:21.120 of a zoom it so you can really see the 00:04:23.75000:04:23.760 guns you can see how the oil is ruined 00:04:26.95000:04:26.960 radiator there's nothing we can do with 00:04:28.93000:04:28.940 it sad isn't it anyway let's get this 00:04:35.58900:04:35.599 cooler out we'll have a test so I got 00:04:40.30000:04:40.310 the oil cooler taken out cleaned up 00:04:43.35000:04:43.360 plugged up here the entry for the smoke 00:04:48.64000:04:48.650 tester is here let's fire her up keep 00:04:55.60000:04:55.610 your eye open here trying to do two 00:05:04.02900:05:04.039 things at once you probably can't see so 00:05:06.27900:05:06.289 what's left of my soapy water you can 00:05:14.95000:05:14.960 see bubbling through there it's snapped 00:05:18.64000:05:18.650 on this joint there you may be you can 00:05:21.52000:05:21.530 see some smoke yeah you can you can see 00:05:24.12900:05:24.139 some smoke coming out 00:05:25.27000:05:25.280 so that's naked nothing much we can do 00:05:32.64900:05:32.659 with that but we can do something with 00:05:35.80000:05:35.810 it just as a sister's a bit of fun let's 00:05:39.04000:05:39.050 have a look inside it 00:05:48.93000:05:48.940 [Music] 00:05:50.73900:05:50.749 it's quite interesting really because 00:05:53.88900:05:53.899 it's like a honeycomb inside look it's 00:05:57.21900:05:57.229 got a it's it's a double wall but it's 00:06:00.33900:06:00.349 got something to slow the oil down if 00:06:02.16900:06:02.179 you see what I mean so there you go 00:06:04.22900:06:04.239 scrap bin don't forget to tighten the 00:06:11.76900:06:11.779 two horses up with a clamp because 00:06:13.35900:06:13.369 that'll that'll happen to these plastic 00:06:15.06900:06:15.079 tanks the brass ones are a bit more 00:06:16.92900:06:16.939 rigid because there's less flexibility 00:06:18.96900:06:18.979 in the plastic but the plastic the the 00:06:22.41900:06:22.429 brass wand are horrendous price to buy 00:06:25.80900:06:25.819 so just be careful of that and just like 00:06:27.81900:06:27.829 I said clump them two pipes together 00:06:29.93900:06:29.949 you'll be alright alright another land 00:06:33.75900:06:33.769 rover tip - I mean the clamps are only 00:06:35.82900:06:35.839 like a pound or something like that but 00:06:37.71900:06:37.729 it'll save you it like a $200 radiator 00:06:40.50900:06:40.519 alright see you in the next video bye 00:06:43.29900:06:43.309 now
