Another Crossover / cooling system job

[Quijote]

I've been preparing myself for this work for some time. Our LR4 is at 8 years and 48k miles (August 2013 build). It's a bit early, but what the heck. We'll probably put under 5k miles per year going forward, so might as well. I do have a VERY small coolant leak that I assume is from the pump, but can find no trace. It seems to need about a cup every 2+ years. So it's not without some reason that I plan on this work. Plan is to do both crossovers, pump, and thermostat.

I've been saving related threads:

DIY water pump and crossover pipe Video.

Figured I would post this up in its own thread. Hope this helps at least one of you DIY your own water pump. I posted all the part numbers in the video description, most parts were sourced from amazon or eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2016 LR4 Coolant Crossover, Water Pump, Thermostat Replacement

Thought I’d share (yet another) report on the coolant crossover issue. I have a 2016 Landmark Edition (service date was April 2016 I believe) with just over 50K miles. Took it to the dealer three times (two different dealers) prior to warranty expiration for coolant odor, but no leaks were...

Crossover Pipe Bursted on V8

Hi Guys. Well...the crossover pipe bursted while I was driving on the freeway today. I procrastinated on getting them replaced, so no one to blame but myself. I just hope the engine is OK. Long story short...I was driving along the freeway and noticed that my AC suddenly stopped blowing cold...

Has anyone shopped there before? Am I missing anything obvious?

2. For the fan clutch, what is a better set? This: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NICENU/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 , or this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076PBXSU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

Thanks!

I will try to document as much as I can just in case it can help someone in the future.

With regards to the fan clutch tools. Just rent then from autozone or similar. Save yourself a few bucks.

I just completed a video of the clutch removal on the YouTube Chanel in my signature.

Good luck buddy. And it’s not a left handed thread!!

Here you go.

If your old crossover pipes are in one piece when you replace them, I'll pay shipping for them. I'm working on putting together a kit to replace the OEM plastic with metal/braided parts and AN fittings.

I'll share my findings and I am happy to send it for the greater good.

Should I replace both PCV's while I'm at it?

 

[ryanjl]

You can, but there isn't a ton of overlap between the PCV valves and the crossover job. The PCV valves are pretty easy to get to at any time.

Good to know. Thanks. I'll wait on those, I think.

I have my old crossovers that are still in good shape if you want them. I replaced them preventatively when doing head gaskets.

Sounds like a project!
I had a slow leak over a couple of yrs. Garage diagnosed the water pump and replaced it. Leak continued. The leak was from the front crossover seals. I replaced crossover and rear heater manifold pipe.

Not sure if water pump was leaking. I had coolant sitting on top of vacuum pump. Make sure you order new bleed valve for the front crossover. It doesn't come with one and they can fail. I also replaced the hose that runs under the manifold cover as hard to get at. Make sure you folow the correct bleeding sequence which involves raising reservoir 2inches as you add coolant and observe it coming out of bleed valves.
Good luck!
