zeegy Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi guys, Just had the worst week ever, my missus left me after 5 years and dumped me by text, and i got my first bunch of stars on my license. what a crap week. Could anything else go wrong!? It did, I replaced the hoses for my engine->bulkhead that are the feeds for my heater matrix, i thought that the leak had ceased. brilliant! uh oh, i was wrong :( Theres still a leak coming from the rear centre of the engine bay, lower down from the matrix feeds. its so in-accessible that i cant even see the leak, just the water pissing from its location. Im guessing, its one of the turbo coolant hoses. How on earth Can i swap this out? I cant even see the pipe let alone get my hands up there to swap it out, can it be done without taking the engine out? If the latter, can someone advice of somone who would be prepared to do the work, used to use SWZ, but now he only breaks cars :( Im based in weymouth, so Dorset, Devon, or Somerset prefered.

nzniggles Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 There is a pipe you can access at the back of the motor when the gearbox is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
