my car is lowered and i don't have any jack up stand. i don't know how i am supposed to locate the leak... |
Drive one wheel up on a curb ramp? Drive up on some 2x12s? Where there's a will, there's a way. Or just don't worry about it and let the shop deal with it on Monday.
If you want to avoid incompetent shops, you might as well get some tools to DIY. Jack and jack stands are probably pretty close to the top of the list. |

its now all over the place.. the coolant.. |
Look at you reservoir. Where is the coolant level at? Is the tank full, half full, empty?
1. When the shop installed the temp sensor. They could have spilled coolant from the location. And it collected on the under tray. When you drove the car. It moved and started to drip. 2. The coolant is leaking from the temp sensor. 3. When the shop finished the temp sensor install. They over filled the reservoir and the extra got blown out of the overflow hose. Keep an eye on your reservoir if you are driving the Z. If the coolant level doesn't change. I say you can rule out a leak. |

They only explained Where the oil pressure and oil temp sensors are. They installed a sandwich plate where the oil Filter is. That’s all I know |

I'm probably installing my temperature probe this weekend. All gauges are in and wired, but the probe isn't installed. I'm putting z1's adapter block inline on my upper radiator hose. I'm scared of ending up like this

That being said, this sounds like the shop didn't properly seal the threads on the sensor or properly clamp the hoses where they meet the adapter. If they installed the sensor in the heater hose, which seems to be the most likely location, you dont need a jack or jackstands. But get some anyways. If I were you. Take another car to the shop. Explain to them in exquisite detail what happened, and why you think it happened. Tell them to pay for the tow, and to fix it. Tell them you want to see what theyve done to fix it before they put everything back together. You want pictures. You want a written warranty. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |

https://www.z1motorsports.com/coolin...se-p-9367.html The metal tube/pipe is aluminum. In the pic. It is above the flywheel. Going from head to head. It's bolted to both heads. There is a gray/green plug just above it to the left center. It's a PITA to get to. But it's the best place to install a temp sensor. The next place is the heater hose. |
Thanks Rusty. Sorry for the thread hijacking
