I was just wondering about how the viscous fan is supposed to operate. With the car off is it supposed to move freely? Would this mean a clutch failure? Can someone explain to me exactly how it is supposed to operate and what are the symptoms of clutch failure? Thanks!

I have the same problem and i took it to a number of garages. They all told me it is the head gasket and that the job is too big for them to do. Is it possible to do the head gasket myself? and how hard would it be? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I already had a new cap on and i also cant find any leaks other than the catch tank overflowing. Thanks for the help.

Correction to the radiator cap: 0.13Mpa sorry

i appreciate all the info so fast!! But, i did install the thermostat correctly, and i installed a nizmo rad cap(1.3 kpa). There are no leaks in the footwell. No odors inside the car. ECU code 55. The right side precat makes noise when i let off the accelerator only when the car is warmed up. I live in Aviano, Italy so i havent found anyone that knows how to work on Zeds. I will try to take it in and see if they can put the dye in.

Also when that happens the fluid overflows from the overflow tank.?

I've tried changing the thermostat, and flushing out the rad fluid, pressure tested the cap and rad and no leaks there. The heater comes out cold when econ is off. And now i only get half of the boost on the stock guage. I could be driving and its all good and then, BAM! straight to the 'H' mark! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

is it possible to export a euro spec Z to the states? if so how much and where should i go for it? thanks all

Hey everyone, this is one of my first threads, so bear with me. Im stationed in Italy and they don't have a clue what they're looking at when they look at my car. I drove it to venice the other day (approx. 100km) and towards the end of the trip, the turbos started to whisstle really loud and then it sounded like an explosion from the front of the car and immediatly i had a loss in power. The car still idled ok and the temp was ok for a while. It finally died on me, since you can't pull off to the shoulder of the Autostrada, I had to start up and drive it off. It started up fine, so i drove it off of the first exit. Then the temp skyrocketed to the H mark in which I immeditaly shut the car off and pulled over. I raised the hood and there was coolant everywhere, it looked like it blew coolant out of the cap. I waited til the car was cooled down to remove the cap, I then refilled the radiator and replaced the cap. I started the car up again to see if it would overheat again, but it didn't until I drove it about 6km, then the temp needle skyrocketed again so i pulled off again, raised the hood again. This time there was coolant all underneth the left front corner of the car, I'm pretty sure that the radiator catch tank overflowed. What could this problem be other than the thermostat, in addition to the turbos problably being blown?? Any information would be greatly appriciated.
