The short coolant hose that hides between the turbo and engine block sprung a leak,thought I could by some hose from auto pro when I pulled the hose off found that the pipe is 5/8" and the other end is 3/4" so have to buy original part.

Also the turbo heat shield has been rubbing on the steel pipe that goes behind the head so probably something else to check the shield can be easly bent away from the pipe

mine does not have this metal pipe going behind head???? is this an auto thing and mine is a manual??? I have a rubber blanking hose thingie, which let go for the second time yesterday in the middle of nowhere causing some problems. I was just wondering where this hose would go if it went anywhere?

Cheers Keith

Changed mine yesterday.
The large outlet is on the oil cooler, the pipe runs behind head(bolted to bell housing) and joins to another hose to the radiator.

Use a Ford Falcon water pump/heater hose and cut to suit.(Thanks to Ray at Romsey L/R for this one:BigThumb:)

Burson p/n CH300, Under $10 plus clamps.

Just did mine, cut about 25mm of large end and cut outher to suit. It'l make sense when you see it.
Had to pull 1 bolt from bell housing to get it on.
Position of the smaller clamp is important as mine looked like it may cut the hose when I first did it up.

Had more room on mine to do it as head off;)

Cheers Kyle

Ps Keith mines an Auto.

That short piece of hose seems to perish very quick perhaps due to it location near turbo & Engine block etc etc.

I had one of those burst on me once and I made a habbit of replacing it every year. BTW keep an eye on that oil cooler. They are known to give way and when they do it makes a real mess to your cooling system etc etc etc
