Puma radiator and hoses?
Hi,

I need some help to sort out a mystery.

I am in the process of rebuilding 2007 Puma I bought as a rolling chassis from an insurance company after it had been stolen and stripped, not totally comfortable with the ethics of it, but was looking for a project to take my mind of things after having a load of chemo etc. Anyway, I have hit a head scratcher.

The engin and everything around it was all intact, apart from the radiator and inter cooler, so got a second hand pair from well know auction site and put them in today, problem I have is, radiator has two small inlet/outlets bottom drivers side, one front, one back of radiator, but I only have a hose for front one. Have looked all round engin and can't find an outlet without a hose (did find a Barclays biro, could have been messy!). Have checked and all Puma TDCi rads on auction site and elsewhere have the two inlet/outlets - so help please - what's going on?

My plan is to plug the back connector and fill system to see if water comes out from an orifice I haven't spotted.

I had the same issue with a replacement radiator as it appeared that it would also fit the TD5. Some are supplied with a blanking hose, mine wasn't so I made one and fitted to the rear of the rad Thumbs Up I started with nothing and still have most of it left!

Thanks for responding.

Yes, before hearing from you, made up a temporary plug, filled system and no water poring out of anywhere, so thought must be case as you confirmed. So have permanent fix now and all run up to test and everything fine, so I am a happy bunny now. Just have rest of rebuild to sort!
