Thank you for the video. I have a leak on the same pipe, mine is a little more obvious though! Ive been going through the various parts manuals online trying to identify it with no luck until I caught a glipmse on your video so thank you for posting that!
I have a Meriva with the same engine it also has a leak near the turbo. I'm not losing oil but I'm losing coolant I will have to pressure test it's rad system many thank's for your video it's made me rethink it
absolute nightmare job if you are leaking at that metal pipe that wraps around the engine at top of gearbox bell housing. Definately a garage job if pipes rotten with rust and spring a leak
Andy, need your help here mate, ive got a zafira vauxhall turbo 1.8 just noticed leak dripping of coolant just conection pipe and tank reservoir. Been thinking to use a jubilee lock ring to tighten , i dont see where to find those tighten rings to replace broken one.
The factory pipes are crimp sealed so can't be tightened or adjusted so yes you're best off splitting/removing the factory fit and replace with jubilee. Careful if it's onto the expansion tank as that plastic is brittle and tightening too much can cause it to shatter
Hello, mine Z17dtr has some leak on hose connections top of the intercooler and radiator. But i cannot find the exact problem and solution for it. Could you give me some reccomendation?
Hi, not good by the sounds of it, but I'm not sure as that has a different layout so I'm not familiar with what is in that vicinity. But looking at an engine layout for Z20LET I can see there is a main coolant pipe running to radiator around that area (From block going forward to radiator). So I think first things would be checking those larger coolant pipes. Good luck
@@junkendriven thankyou i surely will. Had a steady leak for about a year now, gradually getting worse. Had a proper look today, it seems the bottom radiator hose to engine has a split in it underneath and is dripping just were it meets the engine. lucky i saw it really.

A length of garden hose over the coolant outlet tends to make it a cleaner operation.

Yeah, it was a horrible job to do, so many difficult obstacles but I managed it:

Have one of these to fit , any more info on removal/replacement of the metal pipe ?
Run away fast! Watch both videos I did, it's so involved to replace fully!
Second video ua-cam.com/video/N210HKRj2Bc/v-deo.html
same fault here too mate. just found wet patch in bottom pan. hopefully refittting the hoses better and may be ok
I'll hope for you buddy. Hope it's just a seal. Also remember the thermostat is just above the pipe I replaced so it may be your thermostat leaking
cheers I'll have a good look over that. Us Andy's dont have much luck with Zafiras

And where can we find thoose diagrams on 22:49 (F7-1)
I have the Z20LET bud and my leak is bad. Its allover the alternator and airbox any ideas?

@@junkendriven How many hoses go into radiator bud? top and bottom?
Did you see much drippage under the car ?
Not a lot to be honest until the pipe let go fully and then I did, until then I think I discounted it as a/c condensation
