Hi All,
Been servicing my car this last week (was only meant to be one day but issues transpired to extend this session! )
Did a major service (oil, plugs, air/fuel/oil filters, poly belt - the whole 9 yards).
Went to get to the fuel filter and brushed against the coolant pipe coming from the tank. The T-piece literally shattered!
So, service was stopped (was also getting a tad cold) while a replacement part was ordered from Design911.
£53 later and the part turned up on Friday.
Fitted today.
The interesting thing is that the pipe is the original (some 18 years old)..... but there was severe cracking around all plastic aspects - thankfully it went now rather than on my daily commute through the communications blackspot.
So, whilst you're under/over your cars, just check em - simply a case of fatigued plastics.
