it would be useful if there was a list of those CX owners who
1. Have had the swirl pot fitted having had a replacement radiator and have suffered a further leak with approx mileages at each such event 2. Have had a swirl pot fitted but have not suffered a leak at any time with mileage as above; 3 Have a swirl pot fitted and have subsequently suffered a leak with mileages as above;
This could be done by owners reporting to this site
The above three categories are mutually exclusive and the reporting owner should specify whether the report is in respect of a Plus 6 or a Plusfour. On this basis (subject to the comments of an expert motor engineer experienced in cooling systems) a picture will emerge as to the degree of risk of further trouble - it seems doubtful that MMC will assist with the provision of such lists but a representative picture (a ballot poll) will emerge if reports are made by the CX owners using this site. Such lists would also reflect what is happening in fairly clear terms so that MMC can have a definitive case put to it as to future action. It may be that someone (not me) will set up a specific reporting site to deal with this. With respect we are all short of detail in relation to this leak problem.
It would also assist if an experienced motor engineer would explain how given that a swirl pot was thought to be the answer to the problem of leaking radiators what the reasoning (if any) will explain why MMC do not apparently regard the radiators themselves as defective as distinct from there being a problem with they whole of the system. I am not an engineer and i have not difficulty in understanding why swirl pots are fitted to fuel lines but the link between swirl pots and leaking radiators (some but not all apparently) is a mystery to me unless it is a sudden increase in pressure problem which should affect all CX models.
I think a clear explanation in relation to the above would assist many but in any event please have patience with my ignorance on such practical matters.
