2.5x18mm Viton o-rings have been used at the coolant fitting at the oil cooler which might also be suitable for that connector if the housing ID is close to 18mm. |

Thanks GraemeS. I believe thats the right size 18mm. Thats what it says on the connector NW 18-30.

Or the inscription actually tells me the size is 30mmx18mm Viton o-rings ? |

That would have to be 18 x 3.0 if it is the o-ring size.

These pipes are not too expensive from main dealer. |

Kind of on the same subject, could someone show me an engine diagram with the common leaks circled on the 4.4 TDV8? Mine loses about 100ml every 4,000 miles and in my searching around the engine so far, I haven't spotted anything pink yet, including around the thermostat housing and oil cooler. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 |

I have a small leak on the fitting on top of the thermostat housing.

The thermostat housing doesn't look overly different to the one on the 3.6 TDV8 which is one I've replaced before. Not an overly difficult job - just requires some persuasion to get the lower seal free on the unit and I found it easier to cut the 2x hoses going to the heads and replace with new than fanny around trying to get them off gently. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 |

It’s just the push fit pipe on the top. But need to buy complete unit to get that pipe. |

Have you had a pressure test done on it?

Not sure a pressure test would help, as I already know there's a small leak somewhere and just need to find it. It's of no urgency - would just be good to get some hints at other things to look at which are common on the 4.4 TDV8.

A pressure test would pressurise the cooling system with the engine cold and switched off so you could look for leaks.

I bet it's an O ring somewhere. I'm convinced mine is doing the same but no obvious leaks...

For you guys thinking of doing a pressure test, I had an old expansion cap that I managed to take apart and fixed a small tube in the centre. I connected it to my compressor and instantly saw where my leak was. A cheap idea for you handy folk. |
