ST205 Chargecooler Pump

Post by hmltnangel »

Quick query about this....

Was mounting the pump yesterday and noticed on the side of it there is a small opening that looks like it may be supposed to have something on it. Looks like a very small nipple for a pipe maybe towards the end with the pipe outlets on it.

Anyone any idea?

cheers

It's where coolant comes out to let you know your pump has had it ;)

Hold on hold on, GT4 pumps are invincible aren't they?!!
If you can't see the angle, you're in trouble.

So nothing needs to attach to it?

No, it is a sealed bleed valve. It will only blow if you cack the pump seal in or if you seriously overheat the engine and the pressure shoots it out.

All water pumps have them.

EDIT: Would help if I didn't post on 2 hours sleep - my bad!
