Eat this 2 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 i think its somethin to do with the coolant Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 It's a coolant pipe. It carries coolant from the top of the cylinder head to the heater matrix behind the dashboard. Link to post Share on other sites
Ferrari VR6 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 thanks very much guys, much appreciated, im gutted it's happened right now on the 22nd but am well pleased that it wasn't anything worse, sh*t myself when i parked up and there was what looked like smoke slowly coming out of the bonnet! it's only lost about a pint of water so im thinking i might be quite lucky, thanks again Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 You might want to replace the gearbox mount too as the failure of that coolant pipe is most likely caused by excessive movement of the engine due to a worn out mount. Link to post Share on other sites
