hi guys,
problem on 1993 940 2L turbo estate.

Been running with suspected internally blowing head gasket (bottle getting pressurised and blowing coolant out). This has opened up an old heater matrix wound previously fixed with rad weld. Tried using K-seal and now my car stinks of putty. Just drove 10 miles home from town with steam pouring out of the heater vents. Family not impressed with driving home with all windows open and steam pouring out everywhere! Anyway this car has used up all its available budget for the year so I'm going to bypass the heater matrix and wear my motorcycle gear when I drive it to stay warm. Is it just a question of connecting the two one inch wide hoses together with some copper pipe and a couple of jubilee clips - the ones that go into the bulk head near the exhaust manifold?
