Gerry Tee - Where does it actually go?

[Parker]

Having read the threads on the Gerry Tee & with Lates undertaking a full service for me in a couple of weeks, I ordered and received in no time the well made Gerry Tee. Gerry3 asked if all ok and saying yes I thought well let's have a look where this fits.

Well numpty as I am and even after looking at some threads with drawings I can not see where exactly the tee fit's in the cooling system. The only T joint I can see is bottom right of the radiator as you look into the engine bay, but this appears smaller than the Gerry Tee.

Obviously the Tee is right but can someone please point out where I should be looking on the car for it as I need to confirm to Gerry3 that the smaller 8mm pipe is correct!

I have a 1.8T

Thanks in helping me not look a complete idiot

On the V6 is on the top of the engine below the engine cover on the left as you look at it....

I must admit i thought this was only on the V6 but i may be wrong..

hope this helps

Top of rad is at the bottom of photo



The original GerryT. Still going strong

[Parker]

Just looked and I must be going simple but there is def no T on top of the rad, had work mates check too. The hose comes from the top of the radiator then straight into the engine block?

Are there different versions on the 1.8T (2003) without a Gerry Tee?

Thanks Stevemac but my hose running along the top of the rad is solid - no joins ????

Is this where it goes? I just got this pic off the net, I do not have a Tee here just a solid hose connecting with one clip?

Anyone at the next meet got one I can look at or at least someone look at my coolant set up?

Very frustrating

Really can't get any clearer than this, if it's not there then you don't have a 1.8T




This is the small pipe leading to the turbo.

I can see it just to the right of your red circle

[tazman3]

Thats not his engine though he says he got the pic of the net...

Stevemac - then what the hell do I have because that section to the right of the red ring is not on my engine !!!!!! It's a solid pipe that goes straight into the engine block. My engine otherwise looks like the picture is marked 16 valve twin cam and all the paperwork says 1.8T but no B****Y T for sure definate definate in that pipe.

What the hell is happening here !!!!

If that's not the same as his engine and he hasn't got a T piece then as I said before, Parker is not a 1.8 turbo.

The pic is exactly the same as my engine but without the T so what the hell is in there???? I've been having it serviced at an ex Rover main dealer and all along they been calling it a 1.8T???
