roystadoysta Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 New to site, 2.0 ltr petrol m reg xantia, can any one explain how the pipe/s come away from the matrix. its a horizontal pipe that possibly incorperates the bleed valve and goes to the thermostat. it all looks a bit tight and i can't see properly. is there a retaining clip ? any help much appreciated. thanks.

The Mop Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 The lower part of the metal retaining clip gets pushed to the right, to release the top part to the left, probably with a good helping of WD40.It’s usually the plastic elbow of the inlet pipe, the right one, that splits and leaks.Normally, the whole assembly with hoses has to be replaced, at an extortionate cost.The drawing shows the original at top, and the compatible, cheaper, later replacement at bottom. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/Clogzz/th_Heater_hoses.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/Clogzz/th_Heater_inlets.jpg http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q23/Clogzz/th_Heater_and_hoses.jpg Quote
