Coolant leak, help needed - Advice on side 'hose flange'

[Jay2 0]

Advice appreciated.

 

1991, 1.8 G60 - Coolant is leaking out of the plastic 'hose flange' on the end of the engine block, (not the front one, had that replaced last year :( ). According to Bentleys it just has the one temp sensor and the main pipe leads to the heater core.

 

Is the plastic hose flange still available from the stealers? Part no? Also, does it come with the required 'O' rings, as I presume one of these may be the problem. Is it a simply job to do?

 

Any help appreciated as the C is sat dribbling away in the garage. :sad:

Flange with sealing ring: 026121144E, less than a tenner and very easy to do. Just those 2 bolts AFAIK!

 

:salute:

yep definately get a genuine VW one, the febi and other patern ones are utter poo! they warp and leak after a couple of weeks.

 

The G60 side flange is just a straight through flange with no sensors so it only takes 5 minutes to change, it might also be worth getting a front flange as they tend to fail at around the same time and it will save having to drain the coolant twice.
