• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

TE630 Expansion Tank Leak

The expansion tank on my TE630 is leaking. Not fast, but a steady drip. I took it out and filled with coolant to trace the leak and it is coming from this embedded fixing. Does anyone know how this is moulded into the expansion tank and if it's feasible to get it out and then epoxy back in to seal the leak? I'd also thought about using a sealing washer (dowty type), which would stop the leaking, but not actually fix the issue. Or see if a new expansion tank is available (my spares source here in the UK has been unavailable recently with the Coronavirus, so I don't know for now if this is available).

mine also has a leak from that hole but it doesn't bother me. the liquid level can easily remain below
 
I'd rather it didn't leak, so I drilled around the side of the insert with a 1.5 mm drill, cleaned it out and filled it with Devcon chemical metal. Cleaned the tank as well, it might be possible to see the level now.
