Oops! Broke down.
« 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?

I think it's the coolant hose connected to the engine coolant temperature sensor? Will attach more pics in a sec.

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.

Yes a common thing and recently replaced mine for peace of mind, as these cars are nearing 20 years old now and plastic becomes brittle with the heat cycles.

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

Junction with the nipple breaker :laugh:

Yep, that's why I got rid of my POS Racingline intake.  They snap the coolant elbow off as well.  Quality engineering, not!!
