FIAT PANDA SISLEY 999ccFIRE
Well the story starts in December when I parked my Panda up round the back of our house for the winter, I covered it over (naturely) and waited for the spring.
Well about a month and a bit ago I uncovered it and opened it up checked the oil, petrol and ... water ... eh! No water so i fill the water up and yes you've probably guessed it ... the water came straight out the back of the engine just below the intake manifold/carb.
Its the core plug!
As I discovered when water freezes it expands and can put a hairline crack the head, so this core plug pops out to release the pressure and stop the head cracking. Hairline cracks can cause pressursing in the cooling system and water to leak.
I knew this but ... eh ... forgot at the time! (SLAPS HIMSELF)
Anyway the plug has disappeared so I don't know what size it is to get a replacement.
Does anybody know the size/fiat code/part no#/etc of a core plug.
