Problem or technical question?

1991 8v xr2i cold running and rumbling

Postby willowandmikey on Fri Feb 08, 2013 10:13 am

I recently changed some coolant pipes and did some major flushing on my little xr2i and the thermostat has also been changed.

At the moment with the cold weather it takes about 15 minutes to get up to temperature, is this normal ?

It also has a rumbling from the rear but there's no play in the bearings anyone have any ideas ?

As usual thank you for any help in advance.
