hi
the Alfas been of the road for a week now. It suddenly over heated, so stopped to let it cool down. Found the cooling system had no water and only signs of a leak was under a pipe with no split or loose join.
Noticed a bleed screw valve in the pipe which was still in place, went to take it out and the valve head with the rubber seal just came off, leaving the thread part in the pipe issue found !
called Alfa - seems you have to get the complete pipe, you can't get just the bleed valves
has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you fix it ? Alfa also don't have a hose in stock. I got thread part out...
any suggestions as I want to get the car to the garage to be checked
pic of valve (good one / broken one)
