Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys Im struggling with my coolant pipe popping off the radiator housing. Ive managed to pull it back on, but it popped off again after a short drive. With everything going on I can’t get to a ramp to look at it properly. Is it just a case of crimping the pipe and cleaning up the connection or am I missing something ? Simon

POST 2Original post

When I replaced my radiators, the hoses didn't have that kind of fitting. They were pushed onto the radiator inlet/outlet and held in place with a jubilee clip. If you can get one of those onto your pipe it may hold it at least as a temporary fix.

POST 3Original post

As The connections on the Turbo are different from the standard 996 see attached I can only assume item 32 needs replacing if all other components seem OK. Good luck Andy

POST 4Original post

Having had a similar issue with my Turbo it doesn't appear that the pipe is seating correctly into the radiator. Also the retaining clip looks a bit corroded. If you can get at it remove the pipe, clean the end of the pipe and also the radiator inlet, check the O ring and also the retaining ring (The part that Andy referred to). Make sure the ring is correctly in place and then push the pipe in until you hear it click into place. The flange on the pipe should be almost flush with the radiator inlet.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you for your great advice guys, as soon as I can get a ramp I’ll go by your advice . Many thanks Simon
