Different jobs to do.

__chris__ · 23rd February 2013, 22:47

I noticed on someone's signature a list of the various jobs that had been done; plenums, bonnet catch reversal etc, metal t-piece etc. all of which I've now done.

One of the items referred to metal pipes below the radiator.
Done a forum search but can't seem to find out what this refers to.
Is it something that new owners such as myself should be doing/checking?

Thanks

Possibly referring to intercooler radiator pipes , but i'm only guessing...or maybe shannon tubes ??

try the lower cooling pipes below the radiator......they were unavailable for a while, and prone to rotting

'Tis indeed them, they are now available as stainless steel versions and I've just had mine changed when it was in getting the cam belts and service

Thanks.

Can't see "lower cooling pipes" clearly on the rimmerbros website diagrams.
Any chance you could point me in the right direction and where I should get the replacements?

(sorry if this should be posted in "technical"...)

It's a V6 thing, does not apply to the K1.8.
