[lawrence]

the bloody pipe under the airbox is leaking fluid had been tricklikng for a few days now, but this morning it finally spewed its guts, is it an easy fix, for now ive just chemical welded it but how easy is it to replace the pipe?

 

[lawrence]

anyone?

 

[phattboycoxy]

i been quoted £141 to fix mine. Doesn't sound like a price to match an easy job. what car is it? mine's on a valver.

 

[Fred@BTM]

if its the line that goes from the pump to the rack then its a b*****d to change plus it costs £170 from renault!!

you have to remove it through the passenger side wheel arch IIRC

 

[lawrence]

jesus how much!!! ill get a pic of the line tomorrow, but its the line that runs width ways of the car under the clutch cable

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep thats the expensive one!!! blag it on warranty??

 

[lawrence]

well i would do but like i said in the pm, but i still want to do it myself

 

[Fred@BTM]

you'll struggle unless you have a lift

 

[lawrence]

bugger, what about ramps?

 

[Fred@BTM]

maybe, but i remember doing yoz's with the car 6feet in the air!

i think i pulled it out either the passenger side wheel arch, or from under the subframe

 

[lawrence]

any idea how much the replacement pipe is? i had a look at work earlier and it looks quite tight but do-able

 

[Fred@BTM]

£170 for the pipe (ridiculous!!)
