I posted a few weeks ago saying there was nothing coming out of my tell-tale. I put a new impellor in, but still nothing happened. I have just had a look at the thermostat and I think the issue lies here, but I need clarification.
Image 1 shows what I could see when I took the cover off. The hole/channel that supplies water to the thermostat was blocked. I thought this was the problem, but even after unblocking it, it still didnt work.
Image 2 shows a rubber pump type thing which came out of the big hole. I understand this pumps water under the pressue of the exhast system through the tell-tale. The rubber around the edges on this looks knackered; there is a split in it too. This is now what I think the the problem is being caused by.
Image 3 shows the outside of the cover. There is a small hole in this (see pic) which water is now flowing out of. I assume this is a result of the kanckered rubber thing, as it lets the excess water drain.
Hopefully someone will be able to confirm my theory, and tell me everything will be alrite once I replace the rubber thing.....
PS. I may just have made a fool of my self and this isn't the thermostat at all...
