evinX Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Anyone got any tips or tool suggestions on getting the clips off the rear engine heater hoses. Quite tight in there. Cheers Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 The one coming vertically from the rear of the head? I have some long reach flexible ratchet hose clamp pliers, don't use them often but can really come in handy in certain spots like that hose. Once the clamp is off the hose can be twisted off no bother I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered one of US Pro - - - Updated - - - I used long reach long nosed pliers. I tried with mine but still a fiddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Whip the cam covers off, seriously, it makes it much easier! Granted you've got the ball ache of having to remove the coil packs and replacing the gaskets, but it makes the job a breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Ah, either way, I reckon it'll make your life much easier. I swore at mine for ages before admitting defeat and removing the cam covers. It was easy after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
