Biggazvr6 0 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Just gone down to north Wales to visit my family. 3 miles from arriving, steam every where. Temp gauge all normal so I've not cooked it as I caught it just as it happened. It's the heater matrix hose that goes almost straight from bulk head to cly/ head with the small hose that goes to the throttle body. Any body got a spare I can buy? It's obd2 if that makes a difference. Otherwise I'm gunna be stuck down here as it's in the sticks so to speak! Cheers in advance guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Biggazvr6 0 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well I butchered sum of my plumbing fittings together, made a 22m t with a 10mm stabbing n coupled it all back together, bled it all up n seemed ok. And, it's got me the 180 mile trip home! It looks a bit of a mess but at least it works and more so my head gaskets not fooked thank god. Just wait for the hose to turn up now one I send parky the pennies.......... Link to post Share on other sites
