What have you done to your car lately?

yeah i cant help ya there mate! its an odd choice but can obviously tell whoever did it wasnt very mechanically minded

Yeah, I'd have to ask Adam about that one, lol. Speaking of which, I had to strip the driver's side window out of his old GSi this morning. Left Dad's car out the front of his house and a passing truck flicked a decent sized stone through the window.

Which hose was it mate? I know I fitted a small piece of blue samco hose into the pipework above the gearbox but I didn't use duct tape on it??? The only place I used duct tape was on top of the throttle body to cover it from and foreign things getting in

Changed wiper blades. Wth is up with the rear!?!?!? Ended up leaving it what a PITA.

It's under the intake manifold, next to a blue section of hose. My phone went flat, so I couldn't get a pic of it. When I go up next week, I'll make sure the phone is charged.

So under the manifold near the starter motor? The blue piece of pipe was almost right next to the radiator from memory. It's been a while since I looked at it.

Yeah, there was one blue piece under the intake and one just over the top of the gearbox. So, two blue sections in total.

[adam_92]

Oh ok, I only remember the bit near the radiator over the top of the gearbox, probably because I could see it from the top. So which hose has the hole taped up?

[chris_r]

It's actually the plastic pipe section itself. One of the outlet connectors had been hacksawed off, then taped up.

[adam_92]

The solid plastic pipe? I think I know which one your talking about now. That came off the 1.6 because the z18 one was cracked/split. It already had the tape on when I took it off the c16 so didn't think anything of it... Come to think of it that's probably why my gsi used so much water when it had the c16 in it. It never even crossed my mind when I swapped it to the z18.
