    Tdci coolant tank/ level sensor by allisport

    Observe

    Discuss

    Defender Puma TD4 2.4 Tdci Header Tank with sight glass + level sender - AlliSport

    IMO
    -Would be a neat addition of coolant level to the tdci.
    -Perhaps not in the same realm as a 300tdi with **** weak HG but I assume the tdci
    Operates better with coolant on the inside rather than the outside???
    -It is a little bit blingy but could be painted
    -Small warning light +/ - buzzer in a blank switch location....
    -Hmmm $400 ish landed - could represent good insurance

    Is the header tank prone to popping on the Tdci Steve?

    If so, good insurance, if you have the spare cash.

    And the MLS head gasket is the fix on the 300Tdi.

    Tank cap failures seem common
    Tanks seem to hang together
    The tdci however has 473 different hoses that carry coolant
    Would have to be a relative risk of hose failure and I can only surmise
    That an unchecked exsanguination of pinkness would be pretty terminal

    An exsanguinTion of pinkness! Like it! lol. Tell tale pink around cap and flimsy mounting of plastic header tank are enough for me to consider something more robust. ...whether that comes before upgrading radiator, intercooler, 3 diff centres and remap turning off egr and a backup clutch for the tdci is another question! 😳🙃

    Don't you use external water cooling via the intake?

    Only over short distances Noel
    In very specific geographical locations

    But yes direct water injection does cool the charge air for improved performance
