Question
scrufgp
hey peeps
just wondered if anyone has encounteered problems with the leak off pipes
these are the small (about 4")bits of braided hose between the injectors on top of the engine
between the injectors seems to be 5mm pipe with 5mm plastic conectors ??
but the last 1 that then drops away to the left hand side off the block is 3mm ??
is this a specialist bit of hose ?
as i cant find 1 if it is nor can i find a reducer of 5mm-3mm
or has my car be tampered with ??
the bit of pipe that ive removed was 3mm stretched to fit over the 5mm
and atm replaced with 3mm !!!
