Heater
Pipe Weakness
This usually shows up as lots of steam from
under the
bonnet!
The problem is the heater hose behind
throttle body split at
the 90-degree bend. There is no permanent OE fix, and a temporary fix
on the
road can be done with hose repair tape, but pipe needs replacing with a
better
quality item, or using polypropylene pipes spliced in to replace bend.
The pipe is here!
There are a couple of solutions suggested by
the 260s.
Make up the elbow with two
bits of 22mm copper pipe at each
end.
Or buy the Eliza Tinsley Elbow - 3207980 NCB
and Straight -
3205980 NCS From B&Q; each packet contains 2 connectors, but
obviously you only need 1 of each.
One option is not to bother installing it and to keep it as part
of the 260
kit bag
you carry around. The additions will be water, knife &, two 15 - 27
jc
clips (4 for the plastic hose variant), and mk1 elbow or plastic pipes
and about
6" of 19mm heater (bore) hose.
