Can someplease please give me the good news and say this is an easy job to do :rofl: .

 

I have had the baggins bypass so water has been fine for a few months but now a different water pipe at the back of the engine has a slight leak I can see the water dribbling down on turn off :headvswal . I have used SPRAE's engine by numbers picture (thanks SPRAE hope you dont mind) to highlight the area of the pipe i mean, I can undo the top jubilee clip easy enough as the pipe in question is next to the back of the plenum if looking at it it runs to the left then goes at a right angle downwards. Hopefully it is an ok job but how long is this pipe or is it a big job to replace.

 

Thanks everyone.

Thanks mate,

 

Bugger, i have attached 2 new pictures to hope that this makes it easier to work out.

This is weird...I have had exactly the same problem this weekend with my new zed, same pipe has a small hoel in it and was spraying out water in a high pressured mist. I disconnected the top of the hose but could I f*ck as like pull it off the bulkhead connection.

 

In the end I have had to buy some larger bore hose and 'sheath' the current one and tighten some jubilee clips over it. So far so good, but just hope it last until i can get it somewhere :(

Spooky I think these cars work in sync :( .

 

Thats what i was worried about its easy enough to take the top part off but i cannot see where it goes too.

 

Think i'll take a look tomorrow and see if i can have a goor it will be another garage task for me :rolleyes:

 

Cheers

There are two pipes (in & out of the matrix I assume) that go into the bulkhead about 1 hands length down from the back of the engine. On mine, I could undo the clips and rotate them, but the pipe was stuck fast depsite me pulling with all my might from the top. Couldn't get anything down there to get leverage on the bulkhead itself.

 

Just driven mine to work, seems to be holding so far but I'm a bit worried that my pulling may have weakened the pipe elsewhere. Bloody cars!

Mine holding up, took a picture of my repair in case you need to do the same, and also a pic of where they go into the bulkhead.

mine went few months back mate on the motorway and steam everywhere!! took it to ryans and he gave me bits and i fixed there and then . Its a b**ch to get ur hand in the small gaps but not to harder job mate. Just make sure u push the new hoses on far enough!!

Thanks alot mate really appreciate your help, can see where they go now :hyper: , might give it a go this weekend, just have to get the pipes now.

 

Thanks again.

MJP will sell you the two hoses for about £35.

 

They need doing as these are the first to go after you have the plenum bypass done (as they are the next weak link).

 

I can bet in a couple of monthe the RETURN pipes from the turbos will go soon as mine have recently, im just in the process of doing mine now.

 

Zeds and water pipes do my fookin head in!!

Thanks for making me feel better :headvswal now after I have replaced these then another two are going to go :headvswal :headvswal bloody car, what are the other two like to do or is it a trip to a garage :headvswal .

 

Thanks mate will give Mike a shout for the pipes as i used the car today and there is a nice jet stream coming out of the pipe shooting directly at the bulk head.

 

Cheers

The other two are quite difficult even for my small hands i had to remove alot of stuff to get there they are z shaped and go from the turbo RETURN to the plenum, but these will not have been bypassed with the others as they are needed to feed the turbo cooler ones back.

 

They look like very much like nissan part number 14056DA on the drivers side, not removed passenger side yet as it dont leak yet.

 

If you get a price from mrF let me know how much it is as i used a 10mm fuel hose, but so you dont kink it you have to use quite a long length.

 

Good luck.

I did these 2 quite a while back - the 2 matrix hoses where about £17 from Nissan - get some jubilee clips to replace the ones from nissan and just use a stanley knife to cut the old ones off. The attach the two new hoses to the matrix pipes first, then fixing the upper connections last as the cross over each other....Shouldnt take long to do them.
