    Quick Breakdown Question

    I am sitting on the side of the M1 waiting for a tow truck. One of the auto gearbox oil cooler lines has blown off and it has dumped all the oil.
    How much pressure is there in the oil cooler pipes? I was thinking if I can push the pipe back on and somehow secure it I can then get some oil in it so that I can drive it from the road into my garage where I can then fix it properly.

    I had the same thing happen. It was a tow job. Actually the pipe that busted was a swaged connection, so I would imagine not too much pressure.

    The tow truck driver got it into my garage so I can now fix it at my leasure.
    I didn't realize so little oil can make such a mess.

    Once the footy is over, are the td5 and the V8 pipes the same?

    The connection fittings are the same but the pipes are different.

    If you can remove the crimped ferrule off the hose and fitting 2 x 20mm x 6mm band (high quality) hose jubilee clamps will secure it to the swage fitting and should get you home.

    Don't know what the pressure actually is, but I do know that it is not a lot.
