Egr Cooler, Coolent Banjo

slader99 · 05-02-2008, 06:17 AM

Hey all,

First of, thanks for all the help thus far. Got the old supra back up and running after replacing the problem rod bearing. Runs like a top, no CEL!.

As for my problem, I seem to be loosing coolent out the rear of the engine. I've narrowed it down to either the EGR cooler cover, or the Banjo fitting that splits the coolent at the rear of the engine. Shit is cramped back there and I cant tell for sure where its comming from. I replaced the egr cooler gasket, cleaned the faces real well AND used silicon. I also tightened the banjo fitting real well with fresh gaskets. I can say for sure that the hoses & clamps are fine, Ive re-evaluated them and tightened them.

The leak isn't hudge, or at least it didn't seem hudge when the engine was up to temp, perhaps it will be more of a torrent when I start it cold.....

Has anyone got any good ideas regarding tightining the EGR cover while the head is on and engine in the car? Perhaps some special tool or method. Can it even be done?

Thanks for any help,

Cheers,

Colin Slade
