fozsug Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Trying to find the part numbers for the two pipes , arrowed in the diagram, that go from the heater matrix through the bulkhead . The heater matrix number is STC3135, thought it was the matrix leaking, but it is the pipes....... it a bit cold without the heater so any help would be gratefully recieved Thanks Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 STC3917 is the number for the pipes. it could be the little fiddly seals that seal them into the matrix as the pipes are alloy. best bet is to replace them with some rubber coolant hose and some copper pipe joiners (that's what i'd do next time i have the dash out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco_al Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 they are aluminium pipes, and are a pain to fit. hence the cut and join method. where are they leaking from? maybe you could just cut out the middle section and leave the proper ends in place to make life easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disco_al Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 cut them off right on the end of the split, slide some coolant hose over, jubilee clip it up - cheap and more reliable fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
