Apply a significant amount of lube to the bypass pipe nipple for the turbo coolant return. Lube the whole thing from the end all the way to the bypass pipe. 23. Take your new piece of tube for the Turbo Return a slide it all the way onto the nipple and almost up to the bypass pipe itself.
Where does coolant leak in a diesel engine?
There are approximately 5 places (other than the Bypass pipe) in which you could have a coolant leak that “appears” to be coming from the top (valley) of the engine. Please check all of these first before going to the Bypass tube. As they are all pretty easy/cheap to fix.
Where does the coolant come from in a water pump?
– You see wetness down the front of the water pump from the two bolt flange at the base of the tube. There are approximately 5 places (other than the Bypass pipe) in which you could have a coolant leak that “appears” to be coming from the top (valley) of the engine.

These include: – Turbo Coolant Feed Pipe and Tube: This extends from the nipple on the metal portion of the upper radiator pipe to the approx. top of the turbo. The rubber tube could be cracked, or more likely the metal washer at the base of that valve is cracked.
What is the purpose of a coolant bypass valve?
It’s purpose is to serve as a cooling system passage that bypasses the thermostat, so that there is coolant flow even when the engine thermostat is closed. The coolant bypass tube provides a passage for minimum coolant flow, so that the engine does not overheat from insufficient cooling when the thermostat is closed and restricting coolant flow.
What is the purpose of the bypass hose?
A bypass hose is a specific hose with a specific function. That function is to bypass a limited flow of coolant through the engine before the thermostat has opened. On a 2nd gen Escort, that bypass function is provided by the rattly thing in the thermostat housing.
What is engine coolant bypass hose?
The bypass hose is to allow circulation of coolant until the engine warms up enough to open the thermostat. When you remove the bypass hose, you have to have some type of recirculation to happen, or you will induce hot spots, air, etc., in the system causing temps to spike up and down erratically.
What is a coolant hose?
The coolant hose is a critical part of the automotive engine. Because an internal combustion engine runs so hot, a fluid called coolant is needed to circulate throughout the engine. The coolant basically picks up and carries the heat with it into the radiator, where cooler outside air dissipates the heat.
