Title: Oops! Broke down.
Post by: SANDEGTI on July 15, 2024, 11:26:02 pm: Car decided to be nice and reliable today while we were moving house. :doh:

On the upside it looks like an easy repair, does anyone know the part number to this coolant connector thing?

Post by: SANDEGTI on July 16, 2024, 02:12:12 am: Thanks for that guys I ordered the part. Was going to go for the aluminium version but I needed faster delivery... sounds like it's yet again another common problem on these which I had no idea about.

It also looks like your CAI would be resting or knocking that pipe.

Junction with the nipple breaker :laugh:
