Iltis Thermostat Cover & Rad Removal
If you buy an aftermarket water pump for the Iltis, you had better purchase an aftermarket thermostat cover. The original cover is just slightly different and it is enough to cause an antifreeze leak. I got everything else hooked up and did a road test. Within 5 minutes, the temperature was again up to 200. When I wheeled it back into the shop, I hand tested all the hoses. No leaks and all were hot including the cold return from the bottom of the rad. After consulting the maintenance manual, I removed the rad after draining the fluids. Looks like someone was driving around in a silty river! The rad is now at Bracebridge Radiator for flushing and cleaning. Hope to have it back in the Iltis next week.
