2.7 TDV6, a wee bit of a problem, possibly......

hey guys whilst I realise this will be a thread revival, I keep hitting a brick wall when talking with my local dealer. I've sprung a leak from what (according to this thread) would be the water outlet housing. I've attached a pic to show where the leak is.
The parts guy is saying it only comes with hoses connected and "is an expensive part" - his words. I said we couldn't be describing the same thing. So I figure I'd try my luck here so I can arm myself with the correct part no before trying to get down there.

He sent me the catalogue extract where I have circled the part I think it should be, is this correct? could anyone fill me in a little clearer?

thanks

actually I think I may have found the part number

1357091

?

If its the outlet housing that has been mentioned, I carry a spare and think the cost was $39. I got mine from TRS in Lonsdale and it never came with hoses.

Thanks guys, After 3 phone calls and some guidance in the form of a picture of the part from another website, several pictures detailing where the part is located in the engine bay and the actual part number, the parts guy said "oh yeh, I thought that part was made of cast! that's why I never caught that one."

A facepalm moment, and to rub salt into the wounds after checking one was in stock & telling me it was all good I set off to go grab it only to be emailed and told he couldn't find it... bring on the good times!:censored:

Is this a 2.7L issue only????
Wondering if it needs to be on a 3.0 D4 travelers parts list too????

3.0 probably has similar fittings, but it isn't really old enough for this to be a mass problem yet. I only just replaced a similar housing on my Audi A4 and that's a 2001 model! Might be a sensible move to replace it every 150K km as a precautionary. Usually ABS plastic will last that long.

The thermostat housing on my FFRR tdv8 was replaced about a year ago by PO. The part would probably be the same on a RRS with same motor.

Unless my memory is totally caput the 3.0 takes the same part number.

Edit: Confirmed same part number for 3.0.

Was dusting the engine off last night when I happened to notice my water outlet with a nice pink stain around the seam where it has been leaking. 08 TDV6 RRS with 206K. Water has not needed topping up for the last year, so I'm guessing it must be in the early stages.

Picking up a replacement today from Rovacraft for $34.00.
