Title: two bits that i dont know what they are?
Post by: welshrx-7 on June 30, 2008, 02:53:51 PM
i was checking all the fluid levels when i came across 2 bit that i dont know what they are. one is next the the battery and the other is on the other side on in the same position. i pulled the cap of the two and there is a small red top on them. is this for the oil coolers and are they full of fluid. i have never topped these up so i wondering if they could be dry?

Any pics bud?
Could be the screen filler cap on the passengers side while it could be the radiator fill point on the drivers side

cant seem to get my camera working to take pics. i dont know if fluid should go into them. they are small black things next to those bottles when you pull the cap off them there is a small red top underneath. i will try and sort my cam out and get some pics.

cheers

Sounds like the AST, and coolant filler neck. Are they between the battery and also between both headlights?

Was it the AST and filler caps? (can\'t see the knobs to raise the lights being filled with liquid :p :o)

But better to have asked. Rather than blown your engine all over the local roads!

Would\'ve been there a while trying to unscrew the caps LOL

Seriously though, don\'t think anyone has confirmed which bit he meant!
