Coolant Flanges

Recommended Posts

I'm gonna replace the flanges on the front and side of engine as they are p***ing all my expensive G12 away! Especially the one on the side.

 

Would these 2 parts be OK from AVS, or do I need other seals and stuff to sit between them and the engine? Can't really see what's in there at the moment, looks like someones used liquid sealant/glue type stuff on them?

you will probably find that the flanges are ok its the rubber o-rings that have perished. You may aswell change the flanges if they are cheap enough but make sure they come with o rings

Yeah replace them as they go brittle with age and warp.

 

Pattern ones only last a year or two so I would buy genuine, will only be pennies more and the O rings are better too.
