After a morning of downpours, the dogs got walked and with more rain on the way, it seemed like a good time to spill some coolant (I caught most of it in a bowl!) and tackle the leaky pipe seal going into the pump.
The job was going quite well until it wasn't. This was the easiest way to extract the housing, who else hates those "flat" hose clamps?
So now I need to repair that bleed spigot.
Its not just FSI's that cook their coolant fittings, an 83°C stat is fitted and this is all original 2002 parts. Rotten O ring on the pipe had failed.
