heater pipes through bulkhead ?
« on: 29 November 2010, 13:32 »
the heater pipes that go through the bulkhead on my car have snapped off from the pipe that come's out of the bulkhead into the engine bay so there is nothing left to attach to pipe to,
so does this mean i have to replace to whole lot from behind the dash or can i somehow attach a bit of cooper pipe and job done,

any help would be great

cheers

the bit that snapped off is part o the heater matrix, so assuming hoses are all good thats the only bit you need :)

for info on how to replace ben lessani has some on his build thread, plus I posted some info in this thread on ed38:
