Customer Description:
The coolant level murphy gauges for the LTA & JW are wired into customer
input 2, this input is becoming active after 1 hour of dynamic testing. The

Step 2 – Possible Causes
▪ Possible Causes
– Incorrect Routing of the lower pipe to the Murphy Gauge
– Loose connections vent lines between engine thermostat
and radiator connections
– General routing of the coolant pipes

The plumbing on the lines to and from

the Murphy gauges has been reviewed
by the service department & Bearwood
engineering the plumbing observed in
the photos supplied from site may be
contributing to aerating the coolant.
