Great honest video. I did not know about the safety drain banjo union. I presume, because this was blocked the water then got passed the other oil seal and into the engine. I had a new pump fitted 2 years ago and now losing water with water in the oil. The van is going into a VW specialist, i like to know what's what, so I can understand what they are doing or miss. Thanks for explaining this, your honest John approach and dialogue is great.
@LarcsWorkshop I have a 1997 VW TRANSPORTER, I had an accident and left the cap off the water and she dried out, I stopped as soon as the red light came on. But ever since, she is losing water , oil is fine and no sign of leaks, can't think what wrong, I drive for around an hour and the water is near empty. Any idea what is ? I am in Spain and need to drive back to Britain.
@@inserter400 . If you can't see a visible water leak, my first thought would be head gasket or a head problem? Especially if it overheated. I'm really sorry to hear about your issues and hope you get it sorted out and get home ok 🤞.
@@frednetherlands887 . Well it's definitely one cause, hopefully the only one🤞. I can only confirm it with another pressure test with the new pump fitted.
