Title: T3 Help!
Post by: tc² on November 01, 2006, 01:24:25 PM
Trying to figure out the lines...  See the pic.  Is this correct?:

1- Oil Feed
2- Water Return
3- Water Feed

Yes, the water feeds up from the side of the block.  The water return goes into the coolant lines along the v/c.

Chuck, I always assumed coolant flowed opposite of what you said. Now you got me wondering?? I can't find any factory flow diagrams. Can you explain further or do you know of a known good flow diagram (not the one at NATO)

Pete-
Coolant flows out of the block.  The water pump brings it in from the lower rad hose and then it pumps out from there.  I know there was a big discussion on TF about this a while back.

It doesnt really matter anyways, as long as cool coolant makes it to the turbo. It doesnt care.
