- Опубліковано 31 сер 2020
- This is part of a series of videos. I will be replacing the Thermostat, the Front Cylinder Head Coolant Pipe, the High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP), the Coolant Temperature Sensor O-ring and Clip, the Dual Cooling Fan Assembly and I will be fixing the Power Steering Fluid Leak.
This is Part 9. In this video I install a new front cylinder head coolant pipe or crossover pipe and install back the coolant temperature sensor with a new seal and a new clip. There are important notes to keep in mind. Watch to learn more.

13:32 not sure if you've invested in these yet, or for anyone watching this in the future, I've got the Gear Wrench Cable Hose Camp Pliers ( part # 82115 ) and they are extremely useful for these hose clamps.
Yes! I finally got one of these. It makes every job a breeze. 😇
Finally getting mine back together, and my upper radiator hose to crossover pipe wobbles about a millimeter when connected. Like at 11:03 yours looks pretty solid, and all my other connections are solid. New crossover pipe, new hose with o-ring.
I had the same issue with the lower radiator hose to aluminum coolant flange pipe that's connected to the block. Took a day's break, came back in and hooked up perfectly in about 30 seconds.
Well done! 😃
Fantastic video...and thank you for showing possible mistakes, etc...very helpful
Great job! Thank you for your videos!
Thank you for your positive comment 👍🏽
Doing this job now. Even with locking hose clamp pliers its a bitch. Why they make a hose with so many connections is beyond me! Also, you might try taking apart worm-drive clamp and reassemble it around thermostat hose instead of taking pipe off again.?
Anyways- thanks for the videos- i watched them 5x before attempting and it really helped!
I tried removing the clamps but there was not enough space. The trick is to position the clamp on the thermostat hose on top before installing the coolant pipe. Not on the sides. There are markings on the hose. Good luck! 👍🏽
What are those awesome wooden stands that you use under the car as jack stands ? Are they some kind of dense wooden seats ?
Those are actually kitchen tools used to pound various kinds of foods. The kind of wood used to make them is very strong.
Don't forget to replace the senor seal o ring for the senor becuzs it has one two and i don't think the new pipe comes with it i had to reuse the one off the old pipe after putting it all back i still had a leak coming from around the senor it did not have a seal in it heads up to anyone with a cross pipe Issue 👍
i have been trying replace the replace the crossover pipe at the back of a bbk 4.2 l engine in a 2005 a4, can anyone share a link on a video that shows how to do it or any usefull resource
The sensor in mine just popped out and coolant everywhere idk how but its stripped no threads was driving a ok all day made it home and the temperature sensor just gave out
What happened to the sensor retaining clip?
Hello. I have a 2011 audi a6. I need to replace the exact same pipe, but the space to reach it is very tight. How did you create the room to make this replacement.
You need to pull the front lock carrier to service position: ua-cam.com/video/-z4Q9ZchLKg/v-deo.html
@@ThatAfricanGuy tanks!!!!
Great video. I am having a bake sale to buy you a pair of proper hose clamp pliers. 😄
You made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@That African Audi DIYer - Can I send you some hose clamp pliers? I bought some on Amazon and they work really well. Let me know if I can buy some for you. I’d like to say thanks for all of your videos.
I appreciate your generous offer but shipping is going to be too expensive and the whole process will be complicated. I have since purchased proper hose clamp pliers so I should be good from now on. Thanks for thinking about me though. I am very grateful for the kind thought 🙏🏽
Did you have to replace the dipstick to install pipe? Mine seems to be in the way.. please help
No I did not.
Great video! Can you provide part numbers on the o-rings and seals?
Thank you! Here are the part numbers.
Crossover pipe seals: 06E 121 119 A
Upper radiator hose o-ring: 4E0 121 666
Amazing video.. have recently been watching your channel as I have a 2006 Audi A6 C6 3.2 FSI Quattro. After replacing the serpentine belt, I have noticed a coolant leak at the part you are pointing at @ 15:40. I can see coolant spilling out of the top hose clamp. What do you suggest I should do to fix this? Your response will be much appreciated brother 💙🙏
Thank you! Access to that area requires that you remove the front bumper cover and pull the front lock carrier to service position, drain out coolant and remove the accessory belt. Links to videos in the description. You must have a replacement of the small hose (part number: 06E121058D) and the hose clamps x2 (part number: N90687001) on hand just in case. It is likely somebody did this exact job on the car but either damaged the hose or hose clamps, or did not place the hose clamps correctly. It is not easy to get there but you can do it with patience and the right tools.
@@ThatAfricanGuy Thank you very much brother.. I hope to see more of your videos featuring the 3.2 FSI in the future.. much support from Australia 🙏
Hello again, I have ordered the hose and two clamps you recommended me with. Would you be able to provide the part number for the oil sensor? Also, is there a way to check the oil pressure for this car?
@@stergosmak Why do you want to replace the oil pressure sensor? It is in an impossible location. If you are not mechanically inclined and do not have experience, I do not recommend you try any of these. Better have a specialized shop do it for you. The front leak job is not easy and the rear oil pressure sensor job is twice as difficult because of lack of space.
@@stergosmak This video will give you a clue. The oil pressure sensor is attached to the oil filter housing at the back of the engine: ua-cam.com/video/X8lRq4FwMdM/v-deo.html
The bolts 🔩. t30 bolts I have they can't fit in the new pipe I just ordered it won't tighten on the new pipe 🤔🤔??
Are you referring to the old bolts or new bolts?
@@ThatAfricanGuy old. But don't the old t30 should still fit inside the new pipe? Because it wiggles at the top when the bolts are installed
Should I buy 4 new 🔩
@@venicesaint1500 No you don't have to replace the bolts. I don't know what's going on here. Either the replacement pipe you purchased is not the right one or you did not place it correctly.
@@ThatAfricanGuy yea idk what's going on either but its the same serial # pipe like yours but maybe the top hose with the 2 bolts not connecting to the block when I try to screw them
