this is the 300tdi radiator I've added a
00:00:03.889 00:00:03.899 container for a long time and there's a
00:00:06.050 00:00:06.060 fault with it the radiator doesn't leak
00:00:09.100 00:00:09.110 everything's good all the little hoses
00:00:11.089 00:00:11.099 are good but whoever put this radiator
00:00:16.460 00:00:16.470 in didn't fasten that there's two steel
00:00:20.060 00:00:20.070 pipes that come off in like like this
00:00:23.359 00:00:23.369 and the clamp together here in that sort
00:00:26.720 00:00:26.730 of this area with the little special
00:00:28.460 00:00:28.470 clamp whoever put it in didn't fasten
00:00:31.730 00:00:31.740 the clamp up what happened was the pipes
00:00:35.540 00:00:35.550 were allowed to vibrate I thought I'd do
00:00:37.940 00:00:37.950 this little insert in here as well just
00:00:39.860 00:00:39.870 to show you what I'm trying to talk
00:00:41.600 00:00:41.610 about this these pipes here
00:00:43.569 00:00:43.579 are off a 200tdi because they've got the
00:00:47.959 00:00:47.969 old type fittings on corns if you see
00:00:50.420 00:00:50.430 them a new o-rings but the principle is
00:00:52.549 00:00:52.559 still the same this is the clamp I was
00:00:54.799 00:00:54.809 talking about so this is for your top
00:00:56.240 00:00:56.250 pause this is for your bottom pause at
00:00:58.310 00:00:58.320 the bottom bottom connector but this
00:01:00.290 00:01:00.300 bracket will keep those pipes together
00:01:03.080 00:01:03.090 many many times I say that's missing
00:01:05.630 00:01:05.640 what happens is because of the weight of
00:01:07.940 00:01:07.950 those pipes it flexes and will crack you
00:01:11.300 00:01:11.310 won't call the paper now will on a brass
00:01:14.859 00:01:14.869 old-fashioned type of radiator that's
00:01:17.749 00:01:17.759 not too bad you can get away with it but
00:01:20.149 00:01:20.159 on these sadly no because what happened
00:01:24.010 00:01:24.020 over a period of time with vibration the
00:01:27.800 00:01:27.810 oil cooler cracked inside and he was
00:01:30.319 00:01:30.329 getting oil into the water big time but
00:01:34.100 00:01:34.110 funnily enough it wasn't going the other
00:01:35.270 00:01:35.280 way I think it was cuz the pressure was
00:01:37.219 00:01:37.229 higher and it was forcing it out like
00:01:39.499 00:01:39.509 this so we had to replace the radiator
00:01:40.910 00:01:40.920 so this is scrapped because you cannot
00:01:44.230 00:01:44.240 take these parts off to do any repairs
00:01:48.440 00:01:48.450 you've got to cut them so that's what
00:01:49.999 00:01:50.009 I'm gonna do today I'm gonna scrap this
00:01:51.440 00:01:51.450 radiator so I'm gonna cut cut along here
00:01:54.560 00:01:54.570 with the grinder with a slitting disc
00:01:56.920 00:01:56.930 take this piece off see if we can get
00:01:59.990 00:02:00.000 this you know taken out and then we'll
00:02:02.870 00:02:02.880 put the pressure tester on all the the
00:02:06.289 00:02:06.299 smoke machine and see where the crack is
00:02:10.540 00:02:10.550 it's just out of curiosity but I just
00:02:13.040 00:02:13.050 want you to
00:02:13.610 00:02:13.620 that when you put these aluminium cord
00:02:16.430 00:02:16.440 radiators in they are extremely fragile
00:02:18.520 00:02:18.530 and especially in this little horse here
00:02:23.259 00:02:23.269 because that's what happens to him you
00:02:25.850 00:02:25.860 just have to knock them and they come
00:02:27.619 00:02:27.629 off really easy and once they've done
00:02:29.150 00:02:29.160 that
00:02:30.160 00:02:30.170 this is scrapped so let's get cutting
00:02:37.479 00:02:37.489 whenever you're cutting out the iminium
00:02:39.670 00:02:39.680 dust mask always it's nasty stuff so
00:02:44.600 00:02:44.610 let's see what we can get into here
00:02:46.520 00:02:46.530 oh look at that
00:02:53.589 00:02:53.599 look at the oil in here look at that see
00:02:56.690 00:02:56.700 how it's all gonna look can you see
00:03:01.690 00:03:01.700 and there's the oil cooler boot look
00:03:05.030 00:03:05.040 much it's just a tube well I'll gonna
00:03:08.240 00:03:08.250 take this out of here
00:03:09.470 00:03:09.480 yeah I'm gonna take this out of here and
00:03:12.110 00:03:12.120 we'll clean it up and we'll have a look
00:03:13.610 00:03:13.620 at it but let's have a look at the
00:03:14.960 00:03:14.970 radiator you can see that the radiator
00:03:21.349 00:03:21.359 here has had the gasket in now because
00:03:25.520 00:03:25.530 it's rubber it swelled up to nobody's
00:03:27.650 00:03:27.660 business because the water comes in one
00:03:29.960 00:03:29.970 side goes across can we see this better
00:03:34.030 00:03:34.040 so the water comes in one end goes
00:03:40.819 00:03:40.829 across and then back through the other
00:03:43.099 00:03:43.109 side if you see what I mean just to try
00:03:45.319 00:03:45.329 and explain this a bit clearly it seems
00:03:47.120 00:03:47.130 that they use the same gasket both ends
00:03:51.259 00:03:51.269 so you've got a is the end cover is the
00:03:54.800 00:03:54.810 other end off so water comes in here and
00:03:57.289 00:03:57.299 then it goes through the radiator that
00:03:59.870 00:03:59.880 way around and back through here and you
00:04:02.300 00:04:02.310 say there's a little battle in there
00:04:04.819 00:04:04.829 well that's where that rubber gasket
00:04:06.409 00:04:06.419 goes obviously now it's add oil in it it
00:04:08.930 00:04:08.940 don't do anything so I just wanted to
00:04:10.909 00:04:10.919 put that piece in this video it does a
00:04:13.370 00:04:13.380 loop but that's quite a mess and you can
00:04:19.069 00:04:19.079 see inside there let's have a little bit
00:04:21.110 00:04:21.120 of a zoom it so you can really see the
00:04:23.750 00:04:23.760 guns you can see how the oil is ruined
00:04:26.950 00:04:26.960 radiator there's nothing we can do with
00:04:28.930 00:04:28.940 it sad isn't it anyway let's get this
00:04:35.589 00:04:35.599 cooler out we'll have a test so I got
00:04:40.300 00:04:40.310 the oil cooler taken out cleaned up
00:04:43.350 00:04:43.360 plugged up here the entry for the smoke
00:04:48.640 00:04:48.650 tester is here let's fire her up keep
00:04:55.600 00:04:55.610 your eye open here trying to do two
00:05:04.029 00:05:04.039 things at once you probably can't see so
00:05:06.279 00:05:06.289 what's left of my soapy water you can
00:05:14.950 00:05:14.960 see bubbling through there it's snapped
00:05:18.640 00:05:18.650 on this joint there you may be you can
00:05:21.520 00:05:21.530 see some smoke yeah you can you can see
00:05:24.129 00:05:24.139 some smoke coming out
00:05:25.270 00:05:25.280 so that's naked nothing much we can do
00:05:32.649 00:05:32.659 with that but we can do something with
00:05:35.800 00:05:35.810 it just as a sister's a bit of fun let's
00:05:39.040 00:05:39.050 have a look inside it
00:05:48.930 00:05:48.940 [Music]
00:05:50.739 00:05:50.749 it's quite interesting really because
00:05:53.889 00:05:53.899 it's like a honeycomb inside look it's
00:05:57.219 00:05:57.229 got a it's it's a double wall but it's
00:06:00.339 00:06:00.349 got something to slow the oil down if
00:06:02.169 00:06:02.179 you see what I mean so there you go
00:06:04.229 00:06:04.239 scrap bin don't forget to tighten the
00:06:11.769 00:06:11.779 two horses up with a clamp because
00:06:13.359 00:06:13.369 that'll that'll happen to these plastic
00:06:15.069 00:06:15.079 tanks the brass ones are a bit more
00:06:16.929 00:06:16.939 rigid because there's less flexibility
00:06:18.969 00:06:18.979 in the plastic but the plastic the the
00:06:22.419 00:06:22.429 brass wand are horrendous price to buy
00:06:25.809 00:06:25.819 so just be careful of that and just like
00:06:27.819 00:06:27.829 I said clump them two pipes together
00:06:29.939 00:06:29.949 you'll be alright alright another land
00:06:33.759 00:06:33.769 rover tip - I mean the clamps are only
00:06:35.829 00:06:35.839 like a pound or something like that but
00:06:37.719 00:06:37.729 it'll save you it like a $200 radiator
00:06:40.509 00:06:40.519 alright see you in the next video bye
00:06:43.299 00:06:43.309 now
