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.

There is a pipe you can access at the back of the motor when the gearbox is out

I had the same pipe go on mine only a small pin hole my local garage did it 4 hours labour £180 they droped the gearbox off its mountings to tilt the enginge back to access the pipe and clips .They said it was a pain but its not imposisible.

i managed to do this with everything in place took me 5 and a half hours mind you and a box of plasters to stop the blood from my hands going everywhere its can be done though
