Title: What's this pipe for?
Post by: Cooper on March 19, 2010, 07:52:40 pm

Does anybody know what this pipe is for?

Was cleaning my engine bay today and found a small split in it which is clearly leaking something

Car drives fine and obviously I am going to get it sorted just wondered if I should be driving in the mean time?

Thanks

Looks the same colour as the engine coolant reservoir fluid that is dried onto the pipe :smiley:

as above mate it looks like a coolant pipe,  id just keep your eye on the coolant level even though the car will tell you when it gets low  :happy2:
