What are these pipes??

Post by tintin1929 » Thu Oct 18, 2018 6:45 pm

Hi all,

Was fitting my wheel spacers today and had the driver's side wheel off (UK). Noticed these pipes under the wheel arch, close to the bulkhead. Look pretty rotten. Any ideas what they are??

Oh yes. Oh yes. Those are 'the' coolant pipes. Three recent threads, there are many more.

I went ultra DIY today on that for a quick cheap fix. Cut the rotten section out and replaced with rubber hose. Not perfect but cheap and easy.
