Hose leak!

(1/1)

JimsMowing:
All day today i have smelt a whiff of hot water, but not had the chance to stop and investigate. The water temp has been rock solid all day and so i thought it cant be that bad.

Anyway since getting home i have had a quick look and there is a pin [ed - prod with a sharp implement] hole squirting out water onto the fuel rail. Its the short stubby hose that runs between the left rocker cover side and the inlet manifold.

Can anyone give me a proper name for this piece of pipe as i need to order one ASAP!! Also in the mean time any ideas on tape i can use to block it up? Gaffa/Duck tape??

Cheers

Geoff

I did a running repair on a Metro metal radiator pipe once with some inner tube and a jubille clip....

8 months later it was still there!

 :lol:

hobbit:
Not sure of the one you mean, but as far as temp repair, let it stop weeping out use duck tape repair as mention previously, but try a glob of hylomar or similar jointing compound over the hole before taping up

JimsMowing:
Cheers guys for your input. I think i'll do a puncture repair tube with gaffa tape over it. Then go to Landorver and get the part from them. How much can a tube 4-5 inches long cost??  :?
