EA82T Which way does the coolant flow?

[habib99]

Hi,

 

I'm boosting the coolant flow with and electric pump on an EA82T engine and need to be sure that I set it up in the correct direction!

 

Can anyone tell me which way the coolant flows, which of the two pipes to the rad are in/out so to speak?

 

The engine isn't actually running right now so I cant just test it myself.

 

Thanks

Out of the engine from the thermostat (rt-side of engine, as viewed from passenger compartment) through the radiator to the waterpump on left-side of engine.

yes of course - wouldn't make sense if it didn't pump out through the thermostat - thank you.

Coolant always come from the bottom of the rad > engine > top of rad. If you think about it, if it sucked coolant from the top of the rad, and you were just a little bit low the pump wouldn't get any coolant ... Just from a logistics standpoint it HAS to work that way on every car.

I dont mean to start anything, but theres alot of high po engines, that have the coolant go into the head first, then into the block. Always check first.
