So as some of you may know my expansion tank is full of oily crap. So after one that is as cheap as possible posted for my XUD to see if that is the cause of the problems I've been having Smile

Would you not be just as safe cleaning your own one out?

Would rather have one knowing that there's no oil in one because it's really thick stuff so difficult to get out

Surely if it's in the header tank it'll be in the whole cooling system..
Welding and fabrication projects undertaken, contact me for more information.

I was thinking this. Surely the cores of the rad are gonna be hard to get the oil out of! Water jacket etc? Surely you want to just get some rad flush/dishwasher tablets to clean it all out.

Already Flushed the system and it was clean. The oil just sits on top the water level. I changed my oil/water exchanger so it should all be good once the expansion tank is changed

leave it on then, the water in the header tank won't be any hotter than the dishwasher surely? Stick a whole tablet in the tank, leave the lid off, stick it in the dishwasher & I'm sure it'll work!

But I can't get the header tank off because of the bottom hose, may have to have another go at it
