Hello,


here's where the expansion tank of my 409 is:

Of course I don't know if this applies to a 408 as well....

Cheers

Stefano

I'm not sure about the 408, but the 410's expansion tank is under the bonnet slam panel, between the grille and the radiator.. Easy to assume there isn't one!

My ignorance no doubt but I've never heard of a core plug? .

Even my Willie has heard of a core plug - you have a problem.

I have spoken to Butch our mechanic, he tells me that core plugs often rust but electrolytic corrosion between the edge and the block can cause them to loosen and pop with cooling system content pressurisation.

As Greg confirms, Mini core plugs in steel will fit most Chrysler V8 but the best replacements are brass core plugs from the States fitted with a little RTV sealant (non acetic acid cure) around the edge.

Hope this helps,

Cass.
