Thread: CD player code & running water sound.

Is it a Eurovox radio/CD player (with a LR logo)?
If so, the dealer can get the code via the serial number on the radio itself.

Yes Scott, it is the unit you described, will be sure to try this option. Thanks.

Burgs,
Dealer should be able to get code for you.
If they cant/wont help ring a company called "GO Technologies" in Melbourne (used to be Eurovox) & quote them the 10 digits off the serial number from the head unit. There may be a charge for this also.

Gurgling sound is most likely to be low coolant & an air pocket in the system.
Bleed the cooling system properly & all should be good. Then check coolant level over a few days to make sure you arent losing any.

Cheers.

Thanks sniegy, this makes sense as I have recently discovered a leak in the return line to the radiator. Just ordered a full set of hoses and am going to replace them all as well as the coolant. In a bit of a debate at the moment with a few of the boys at work as to whether I use O.A.T coolant or the standard green stuff, also thinking about replacing the thermostat and getting the radiator cleaned & flushed while I have the system apart. Some of the guys say not to worry about the thermostat if the old one is working fine but I think while I have it out when flushing the engine I may as well put a new one in. As for sending the radiator to the shop for cleaning & flushing... not to sure about this one, is there a chemical treatment on the market that I can use myself or am I better off sending it to the specialist to pull the tanks off it and do a thorough job?

Why dont you just flush it in situ and check with an infrared temp gun to see if there are any hot spots...if not just keep it in and go hard!

Low coolant level causes the sound...should be fine given that you found the leak. Just park it uphill and keep cap off overflow as it heats up and bleed air out by putting coolant in as the level drops after thermostat opens.

Cheers

Personally,
I would use O.A.T, as this is what the system is designed for. If you do use something else your radiator may be eaten away.
Ordering all the hoses for the vehicle is going to be a little pricey, if u can just remove the thermostat & place it under hot water. If it opens all good, if it struggles & plays up, replace it straight away.
Dont let the engine get hot!
