Passengers side turbo coolant Leak

Hey guys,
I need help on a certain matter like replacing the passenger side coolant line is there any way of replacing it without pulling things off or am I in for some fun Times?????

Thanks Josh

 

Alright Update i've decided to go ahead and do a plenum pull, It seems like the easiest option to go with
Thanks for viewing guys,

 

What part? Rubber lines? the one at the rear of the engine? Hardline?

 

Hey Carter its the bit of pcv hose coming of the turbo to the back of the engine

 

Not sure what one ya mean but pretty sure ya can anyways.
Believe it or not i bypassed all the coolant lines from the plenum without removing it, was a shit of a job but deffinatly possible, same goes for the ones at the rear if you have the right tools its all possible.

 

Wow That must of taken a while, how did you do it? cause I mean I can barley fit my hand down the side of the engine let alone the rear haha but as for the coolant leak ill upload a photo tonight.

 

do the plenum pull, its easy, and it will make the other jobs much easier too.

 

oh yeah, and when you take the old coolant hose off you will probably find that the steel pipe is corroded where the hose was clamped on. i'd recommend sanding or using a wire brush on power drill to get rid of the corrosion and make it smooth for the new hose and clamp, otherwise yo are likely to get leaks at the clamping spot again.

 

Cheers OdinZ,
Ok so with the hoses would the generic pcv hoses from Scouper Cheap do the job or is there some other place that would be recommended

Thanks Josh

 

For the fuel hoses you can just go to supercheap. Vacuum hoses can be bought from here.

You will need:
4 feet of 6mm fuel line or water hose
3 feet of 6mm vacuum line
2 feet of 4mm vacuum line

I used this guide when i did mine. Let me know if you want to borrow a printed copy or need some advice.

Also may be worth replacing coolant heater pipes if they show any signs of corrosion. Can be purchased at coz

 

Thanks Heaps Meggawatti,
I may take you up on the advise im going to start this weekend so ill keep posted by the way when i do rip the plenum off any suggestions on things i should do while the plenums off maybe egr delete ?

 

Yeh it was a bit of fun but ya can use them extra long nose pliers & things like that
and i have small/skinny hands, that helps a bit
Its been fine for 3years+ now
But yeh a plenum pull is prob easier & the best way & you can fix/remove all the other crap while ya in there but i still think it would take slightly longer

 

There is a kit you can buy for that I believe. This was the state of my hoses before i did mine :O

 

that one looks fine, why'd you remove it?

 

Pretty sure it was blocked up anyway. Plenty of corrosion. Just found this pic.

 

Dude that looks like something growing!!!

 

this is why our zeds have a overheating reputation, these small hoses that are often "out of sight out of mind" are the cause of 90% of overheating issues imho.

every z32 should have them deleted as a matter of course

 

Whoa does that just build up over time?

 

Here is the leak if any one is curious, well around this area couldn't quite get the hose in
