Hi

 

One of my water pipes has burst (fortunately while the engine was hot, but not running) Not only does it appear to be a seriously

difficult hose to get to, I,m having difficulties identifying which hose it is in the parts diagram. when looking from underneath the car,

up between the engine and the bulkhead you can see a small water hose that connects to the left Hand side Turbo.

 

Does anyone have any idea which hose it is on the parts diagram, or what the part number is?

 

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

The turbo coolant loop runs from the heater matrix hard pipes in the centre rear of the engine and then makes a loop through to the underside of the plenum and back to the heater matrix, it goes all over the place. Fortunately it just standard issue water hose no moulded or shaped pieces, I believe it's 12mm id. Get a bit off and you can get some locally, I purchased a few meters of good year hose for not much. Not the most fun to change in situee. You can fortunately delete the water circuit under the plenum and bypass the hard line parts, this will get you by till the plenum comes off for something else. Just remember not to allow the new layout to touch anything hot or get kinked and make sure to bleed the system properly.

Cheers for that mate.

 

Sorry I didn´t reply quicker but I´ve been dismanteling the Z , eventually taking the gearbox off to get to the hose.

 

I think i should have the hose Problem under control , Need to Change a few more actually.

 

Problem I have now is sourcing some exhaust hangers "rubber Mounts" (all of them) for a halfway reasonable Price. In the US they cost about 17 pounds, but they want around 53 Pounds

for postage. Over here in Germany the postage is obviously a lot cheaper, but for the 4 rear Mounts alone they are asking 72 Pounds. There must be a cheaper Option......any ideas there mate?

 

Kind regards
