Default Confused on cooling sytem for turbo.

Hi Guys.

I've been looking and trying to work out where all the different pipes go.

I've looked at the Marlin CD and also http://www.marlinturbo.dsl.pipex.com/coolant_system.htm.



Could someone please put my mind at rest.

Here is my findings so far.

Sorry about the funny pictures!!!

I've been trying to follow all the hot and cold routes comparing the original Rover diagram.

The questions.

Is my guess correct in the above diagram?

On the Rover diagram from Rave, the heater valve is connected to the bottom connection on the heater matrix. But on Trev's picture and Marlin's it's connected to the top connector on the heater matrix.

On the Rover diagram, there is a bypass hose for the turbo that goes to a connector on the radiator above the bottom coolant hose. Should this be implemented?

The Tee piece from the expansion tank. One pipe goes to the expansion tank, the other to the pipe on the thermostat housing but where does the other go to??? I guessed that the other pipe also goes to the coolant elbow but the bottom connector.
