0 QinteQ Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 A guess core [expansion] plugs, they [cup or domed] are there to stop your engine blowing up under extreme water pressure, bang a screwdriver through them and remove then replace and seal with gasket sealant - I've never known one leak in my life. : http://www.howacarworks.com/illustrations/replacing-core-plugs-283.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 T14086 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Vauxhall had big problems with core plugs blowing out in winter, Ford focus mk1suffered leaking core plugs which caused plug misfires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 QinteQ Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) HiYa T14086 Vauxhall & Ford agreed - I should have said """I've never known one leak in my life other than when people don't use antifreeze :"" or put insufficient in or leave it in until the pH balance turns acidic, becomes overcome with rust, and starts eating the engine from the inside.
