Advice Please

I discussed the fitment of the pipes with unit 20 a while back. They can be done with engine in situ. But a bit of a pain to do.

Right i have tasted the liquid tonight that has been slowly leaking under the car and I am pleased to report that it was very sweet, which I take means that it is coolant and not oil.
I have checked the coolant level and it was basically on the max line so it can’t be a major leak ?
Still coming from the front right hand side tho, so any ideas as to what it could be or where to look ? Hoping to get it up on the ramp this Sunday to have a proper look under it.
P.S. happy Friday everyone!

That’s where the oil filter housing / heat exchanger is. Poosey pipe, innit? If I were you I’d snap Steve’s arm off.

it's good that it's not a major e.g. enough to effect the pressure capacity of the system. But don't wait to fix it, if/when it becomes a bad leak....

Ok sound, well in that case I think I will buy one off Steve and get in contact with MRC and see if they can help me out with the fitment as they are only 2 hours away from me. Guessing I am going to be looking at a fairly large bill with it being an engine out job

Another poosey pipe on its way to Ireland.
Thank you Simon.

It’s not a engine out job. Unit 20 have done lots with engine in situ.

Grizz did mine while I waited, it was a long wait

If you have axillary radiators behind the intercoolers check them and the hoses for leaks as well.

Mine had the same coolant leak, passenger side front bumper, turned out it was the auxiliary radiator which I have taken off to get repaired in the meantime I have run a pipe connecting inlet and outlet.

It makes me smile every time I see call that pipe by it's correct name.

[steve2003rs6]

Which one makes you smile Matt
Bufkin pipe
Poosey pipe.
It surprised me how many pipes were sent.
Only a small amount left from the 24 that were manufactured.
Even though they were made to the original drawing dimensions.
I will feel a lot better when someone has installed one.
As this will be the true test that they are ok.

Poosey pipe, obvs. You've picked up the mantle
