Hi All

On the GQ and I guess probably the rest of the petrol engines there is a water pipe under the Intake manifold. I think mine is very close to "moer toe" , i CANNOT GET IN THERE TO TAKE A PICTURE

Would one need to remove the whole intake manifold to get access to said rubber pipe ?

I am planning to drive with my GQ to fetch my Overlander trailer from my daughter in Centurion , did a compression as well as head test yesterday on my GQ and it passed both with flying colors but this pipe seems not so lekkor ( there is visible "aanpaksel" but no dripping of water from there when test was done ) but I rather be safe than sorry )

Shalom

Jules, if you are you talking about the pipes going into the T-piece situated under the carb, I have in the past managed to replace those pipes from underneath, after removing the oil filter.

If you are talking about the little one eminating from the back of the thermostat housing, I don't think you have any chance of getting in there without pulling off the intake manifold.

Also,is it the rubber pipe or the metal fittings that are going? On mine, all those metal pipes were rusting through, but one could only tell after removing the rubber pipes.

Piet el dink ek moet dalk die air filter housing afhaal eers dan kan ek beter sien, hierdie is n rubber pyp wat connect aan n staal pyp

Shalom

hier is die culprit , ek will nie die clamp losmaak nie want daar is n gaatjie net na die clamp , maar dit lyk verstop. Die ander punt van die rubber pyp connect onder die carburetor unit, Piet lyk amper soos daai T piece waarvan jy gepraat het

Shalom

Jules dis die een waarvoor ek 'n stainless vervanging gemaak het.

En as ek daai foto so lyk, het jy roes daar en gaan dit nie help om net die rubber pyp te vervang nie.

Hoe kry ons hom by jou? Kan ek hom vir jou postnet-to-postnet stuur?
