Water Leak Core Plug.

[jimmyybob]

Hi all my 2003 3.3 has more leaks than a welsh show.

 

The main leak for today is the cylinder head core plug. its the front bank next to the alternator,

Although it looks easy to get to, finding a replacement seems impossible. has anyone changed these.?? where did you get them and what size is it.?

 

Thanks

 

 

Also valley gasket/rocker covers/thermostat/radiator......all flippin leaking.

Blooming heck pal that's awful!!

Sadly can't help with the core plug but I have had the valley gasket done, twice, a pattern one then genuine Mopar, still weeps.....

 

Where are you? I have a lovely condition with no leaks at all 2002 3.3 LPG full car sat at the back of my drive that I am getting fed up with not fixing its transmission problem?

Engine is the best of the 3 GV's we've had! All 3.3's.

I’m in the Lincolnshire flat lands.

 

This is my second GV and has been the worst one, it seems to consume suspension parts, I’ve done wishbones twice drop links twice and just done the rollbar bushes.

Also has gear change issues but I think I’ve got a broken/sloppy rear mount that’s causing that.

 

Just these leaks to sort.if I knew what size the core plug hole was I could tap it out and fit a threaded plug.

I’ve ordered a new core plug from Chrysler at the huge cost of 85pence but they only do them in packs of 12, and why do all Chrysler parts come from Italy.??

Ah, do Fiat own Chrysler so the yanks send it to Italy then on to us? Still pretty cheap though, anyone on here need any spares? hee hee

 

Mopar stuff can be had direct from the States quite easily.
