#1: Water pump pipe Author: Dave82517, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Thu Nov 24, 2016 3:29 pm ---- So ive got a lovely hole in the pipe coming from my water pump on my 138, ive got a pipe on order and wondering if anyone has any tips for replacing it. It goes behind the exhaust manifold and i cant find any instruction on how to do it. ive read that removing the batt and box gives a bit more room to work but any tips/guides would be great.

#3: Re: Water pump pipe Author: Dave82517, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Thu Nov 24, 2016 4:54 pm ---- no, but they should have some there when i pick the pipe up. There any kind of guide to doing this or is it pretty straight forward? i assume i dont need to remove the exhaust manifold even though the pipe goes under it?
#4: Re: Water pump pipe Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Nov 24, 2016 5:12 pm ---- Removing the battery and box definitely makes sense. Then it's a case of draining everything and then removing the 10mm bolt that clamps the pipe to the thermostat housing. If you take the thermostat housing off everything can be pulled out of the water pump in the same direction.
#5: Re: Water pump pipe Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Nov 24, 2016 5:12 pm ---- Obviously you need to take the hoses off the pipe and thermostat housing too.
#6: Re: Water pump pipe Author: Dave82517, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Thu Nov 24, 2016 5:35 pm ---- Sounds pretty straight forward. No need to drain anything, due to a hole in the current hose it makes a puddle like an incontinent dog on the driveway everytime i fill it up.
#7: Re: Water pump pipe Author: Dave82517, Location: Barry, South WalesPosted: Fri Nov 25, 2016 1:24 pm ---- There any reason why the pipe i just picked up is metal but the one thats in there with a hole in appears to be rubber tubing? The dealer said they should all be metal unless someones done a both job on it at some point?
#8: Re: Water pump pipe Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Nov 25, 2016 3:22 pm ---- Pipe = metal
Hose = rubber
You got a picture of the one you are replacing?

The marked one, seems to be a rubber hose that the hoses going to the heater matrix come off. The only similar one that pug could find is a metal replacement. Baffled.
