940T Cooling system - 2 questions 900 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be macs70GLT on  Fri Jan 11 14:16 CST 2013 [RELATED]

getting ready to replace the oil cooler hoses on my son's 95' 940T.

He was very low on coolant last week, when I checked I noticed the expansion tank has the Black cap, 75KPa - from previous owner. I've since purchased the Green 150KPa cap from IPD.

That Black cap would have permitted his coolant to boil off & evaporate correct?

Second - I have a replacement water pump (bought it with timing belt components not realizing it's a separate installation unlike the 240). The existing pump appears ok (~160K miles on car). How difficult is it to adequately seal a new pump?

Figured I would replace the thermostat & water pump while changing the oil cooler hoses & fluid - however I don't want to cause more problems if current pump is ok.

Thanks

Mike
