Replacing Chassis Coolant Pipes

[G_Reaper]

Hi

 

Has anyone replaced the large coolant pipes through the chassis if so it looks like they have to come the front is that correct (looks like a nightmare!!). Has Anyone replaced them with straight pipes and curved rubber pipes instead?

 

Cheers Mike

Have a look at the Stevens thread where Sparky has posted a 'how to do it'

It was an interesting thread but not about the main chassis coolant pipes which come out the chassis at the front and curve to a 90 degree bend. I cam only see the whole radiator and fans would have to be removed and possibly the front spoiler!!!

I think you're right Mike.   I read the other thread with interest as I recently changed the heater pipes from the rear.   I'm  not sure if they are routed differently on a G car as they clear the sump by a country mile - i.e. not an engine out job...

I use these all the time - ideal for drawing cables etc

I have seen the routing through the chassis - I reckon you could use these no problem to replace pipes.

I suspect they would be more efficient than the bamboo cane I used.....

Haha. for sure - they are superb in the electrical trade. I simply would not do without them
