Coolant pipe - expansion tank to main hose

Postby darrenbiggs » Mon Feb 26, 2007 12:34 am

One for the people who've upgraded to silicone hoses I'm thinking!

Does anyone have a spare coolant hose (the one that runs from the base of the expansion tank to link to the main hose) that they wish to sell?

Mine has sprung a leak with two tiny pin holes appearing just down from where the pipe tee's to the line that cools the turbo.

Thanks!

Darren, I have my engine out at the moment, the small hose from the bottom of the expansion tank is attached to the main hose. What I mean is, I do not think you can just replece the small hose. Can yo not cut out the leaky piece and join a replacement into it's place. Or plug it like a tyre repair? (access permitting)

Get some pipe repair tapes ............Self amalgamating ,one is fabric, the other a stretchy sticky rubber type .Works a treat and will last for years .
