"Automatic transmission oil coolers are sited in the engine radiator and cracks can result in engine coolant entering the transmission via the oil cooler. Seems to be very common in these vehicles at 7 years or more."

Why have I NEVER EVER heard of ANYONE suffering this 'very common' fault? Honest John is a bit of a d1ckhead methinks.

'Jap Scrap' -

actually his biggest issue seems to be price, closely followed by head problems - both fair points he aint exactly gonna search round for the cheapest he can find and there's still plenty of 2.4s for sale at 3 grand plus.

Pretty sure I have. Can't remember when though and I think it was more oil in the coolant.

I've heard of it a couple of times, could have been on yotatech or the oz forum i spose but more likely here.

[Apache]

Yeah, engine oil in coolant I've heard of, but I personally aint ever heard of ATF in coolant.

Cult car on council estates

[darkdezigns]

i live in council house!

[Apache]

I hate that kind of sweeping statement.

Most people in council accomodation are decent law abiding people (Even I spent the fist 10 years of my life in a corpy house in the Liverpool outskirts ). Its the 1% of scumbags that the councils distribute in council estates round the country that tar everyone with a bad name in the popular press.

[POPEYE]

Yeah you said it, and we have the entire 1% in our street,
barsted councils always do that, why dont they stick em all together and let em annoy each other instead of annoying everyone else

[logey79]

dumbass doesn't even get the basic facts right. 2nd gens ran from '89 not '90. tw@t.

[fatfires]

Me....Me .....Me I had ATF in me coolant...not a lot but the fault showed up when I had my rad rebuilt, had a new heat ex put in the bottom rad tank avoiding the bottom hose connection, the original 'plate' type heat ex went porous on me

[Apache]

Cool. Well, I stand corrected!

[logey79]

Cool. Well, I stand corrected!

bad posture originally then?
