Brake Vacuum Seal BWA

<< < (2/2)

ZoliWorks:
The pipe is welded onto the turbo heat shield so I can see why they didn't want to take it off. Unless you clamp those hoses, coolant will drip out everywhere.

As for the hoses, you can get them off easily if you take a 90 degrees pick tool, insert it inbetween the hose and the pipe and move it around so you un-stick it. I haven't had issues with any of them splitting and I've taken off quite a few

pudding:
Yeah you can either bend it out of the way for an easy life, or do it properly and remove the hose. A good opportunity to flush the coolant system if not done in a while. The G13 or what ever version its at now needs to be done every 5-6 years iirc.

The ebay reseal kit works OK but the O ring crush is pretty marginal tbh. Could do with kits that have slightly thicker O rings for better sealing.
