  1. Coolant flange leaking. Help

    Okay thank you. I will phone around and see if the newer part is available that’s probably why I’ve not been having any luck. Do you know if anyone makes a cast alternative? I’ve had a look but can’t see any
  2. Coolant flange leaking. Help

    My 2004 LCR has the coolant flange part No.06a121133ad coming out the cylinder head on the right hand side where the coolant temp sensor is.
