    Default Raad ASB - Ou Oom met 'n Warm Patat Tata

    Hi Almal

    Oom in my Kerk, NICE Oom, hy stel ook my Bea se klavier ens ens het 'n warm Tata. 2006 Model D/Cab met 132000km op.

    Bakkie word nie warm op gauge nie, maar hy stoot kompressie deur, hy verloor (bietjie) water deur sy reservoir.

    Hyt so 15000km top gasket gedoen en geskim, probleem steek nou weer kop uit.

    Olie en water glad nie gemeng nie.

    Met die top gasket opsit 2 jaar terug het hulle agtergekom daar is 'n kraak by die water channel by die piston 4 sleeve, by die "smal deel" tussen die pistons.

    Die Oom is raadop, hy wil ook nie die Tata so verkoop as hy weet daar is 'n onderliggende probleem nie, en dit klink vir my asof almal hom net wil bedonner met NOG 'n top gasket opsit.

    ...........Weet iemand van so probleem met die Tata's, en waarheen gaan mens met dit??

    Hy is rerig hier in 'n hoek, ###### nice en eerlike goeie ou.

    Hy wou gister die Tata aan my verkoop teen 'n ridiculous Prys, maar ek gaan nie lekker kry hier nie.......ken hom te goed, en kan nie hom so oop oe bedonner nie.

    Hyt bakkie ook nodig, sleep so ou caravantjie en sy ander kar is ou Corolla, so as hy die Tata laat gaan moet hy sy caravantjie ook verkoop.

    Sorry - hartseer storietjie maar ek wil hom net probeer in die regte rigting in kry hier.

    THANKS

    Maar om jou te antwoord op n manier: as daar n kraak is tussen die twee silinders, dan is daar baie min wat gedoen kan word.

    Probeer hierdie ouens, miskien kan hulle raad gee:

    Forgot to mention - he's also looking at some other engine conversion if necessary.......I advised him against it, but ja. Are there RELIABLE alternatives here??
    Although my feeling is he should'nt go there - conversions have their own issues etc etc etc.

    Funny thing is the thing doest get hot AT ALL, only losing water through that reservoir.

    But it bothers him.

    Then even a curveball...........cant he just keep it as it is, or will there be more damage?? He uses it maybe 5/6000km per year.

    THANKS

    Hi Petri,

    I would first change the radiator cap with a original OEM unit. Is is a pressurised water bottle or normal?

    Go have a radiator test done and this should indicate if there is exhaust gas in the water. If it is not getting hot then could be a small issue.

    According to him the radiator cap is fine.

    He hasny done the rad test but he says the water that runs from the reservoir is " sommer so vol borrels en skuim ", so I guess it IS indeed top gasket?

    My Ford het ook so gemaak - water verloor deur die overflow - moes headgasket gedoen het, maar ek was gelukkig die head was nie gekraak nie en ook nie piston sleeve nie.

    Dit hang af hoevel water hy gebuik, maar dit behoort nie so groot probleem te wees om hom so aan te hou ry nie, net 'n oog hou oor water gebruik en dalk 'n madman ems in sit om te kyk na die temps wat hy bereik want heat guages is maar useless op standaard karre.

    Het hy die kraak laat patch of nie? As hy nie die kraak gefix het nie gaan die gasket change hom niks help nie.

    DIS wat my pla. Kos hom elke keer amper R 10 000 en na 10 000 km selfde hassle.

    Kan (blykbaar) nie kraak patch nie, hys te dun of te naby aan channel of iets.

    Dan maar kyk vir ander blok?? Maar gaan hom BAIE geld kos, nie net die blok nie maar arbeid en ander parts etc etc ook, mens kan seker nie net so al die binnegoed oorbou nie?

    Thanks sover aan almal, waardeer
