Walesy 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Bonjour After Trigger had given my g60 a little blast on Sunday, we lifted the hood and noticed a leak from the bit i've pictured on top of the rad. Does anyone know if there's a gasket/seal in there that could have gone? or do I need to replace the whole part? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bristolbaron 10 Posted March 21, 2006 theres a seal in there: 535 121 687 part no for piece is 535 121 647. hth bazzer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

was8v 0 Posted March 21, 2006 part no for piece is 535 121 647. Thats the number for the whole 90 degree elbow assembly is it? Mines cracked due to a previous owner over tightening. Would I need to flush the cooling system after replacing this or would the air work its way out of its own accord? How easy it is to get that hose clip off? are they reuseable or will the new elbow come with a new one?? Sorry for all these q's I don't have ETKA :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 21, 2006 The hose clip will be re-useable, get the new elbow, O ring seal and 2 new bolts tho... Easy to change (cold engine and take cap off to release any pressure) and If your careful then you can swap it without loosing any coolant... Be careful with the bolts as they screw into the plastic rad surround (new rad's are £150!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
