Hi all , just pulled up in the garage an noticed steam coming out of my bonnet vent , lifted the bonnet and its spraying out of the metal pipe that goes across the cam cover .

Where can you get new ones from and I have a t34 so are they different ? I need the car at the moment to.

Thanks

Dave

 

Has the pipe spilt at the banjo fitting, the usual place for them to go?
If so, you can cut it off neat, drill out the bit in the banjo and have it re-braised on.

 

Right where it bolts onto the turbo mate . I need it for work ,so guess ill have to make sure theres plenty of water in it and try and sort something tomorrow

 

keep it off boost if you can till it's fixed! your water will last longer!

 

Yeah I done that mate ,is the bolt that goes into the housing a bugger to get out?

 

isnt bad to get out, should have a copper washer too IIRC

 

I'm going to take it off this morning and take it round the corner to a guy that does alloy welding . seeing as I cant find anyone who supplies them new .

 

I'm not sure mate , there wasn't one on there when I took it off ,but just lifted the bonnet and its hissing where its leaking slightly on the turbo side so you may be right.

 

its been years since i had a YB mate so i maybe wrong, but i sure i remember a washer on the banjo

 

Should be a banjo washer either side of the banjo to get a proper seal.

 

yes, two copper washers either side of the banjo. only a couple of quid on ebay.

I got a new 3dr pipe off a guy selling bits on PF. Cost me a fiver, there's plenty about , but the 3dr ones are a bit scarcer than the later sapphire ones.

 

The pipe is fine now as i've have it welded its just where it bolts on there's a slight leak . does anyone have the link for the washers I need please

Thanks

Dave
