DrivingTheDream Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I think... It burst on a journey today, coolant everywhere. So I took it to Toyota with the temp guage rising rapidly. They were meant to ring me back this evening but they havent and now its eating away at me. Was it the pipe or part of the radiator? It was the thick, long one going across the bottom with the burst in it. You can see it from the top of the engine bay very clearly and the hole was along the bottom. Is it going to be expensive....?

Wez Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Should be cheap, Samco kit I got just recently did not cost much and I think Martin (mkivstore) has ordered some. Why did you take it to Toyota though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Only reason was because it was the closest possible place and the temp guage was hot and not staying down long-I dint wanna risk anywhere else. Coolant was also pissing out quicker than a mules leak so refilling would have been pretty pointless. Is the pipe metal not rubber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivingTheDream Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Could this have been caused by not having an engine shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Ah, well thats where the water was running from. Is this expensive?! It is if it was. The lower rad pipe connects the rad to the waterpump. The 3" pipe running transversly across below the rad is your intercooler pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
