Hi all,
I replaced my radiator and water pump on my 94 940na about 2 months ago. I just noticed leaking from the temp sending unit in the plastic radiator tank.
The seal was a pain to get in the first time, even with lubricant. I still must have damaged it somehow. Is there a homegrown fix for this? I have used 2 appropriate sized o-rings to seal the back of the waterpump to metal heater line and it has worked great. I would try an o-ring approach on the radiator too, but the o-ring won't hold the sending unit in place and pop out under pressure. Any ideas?
