Thread: Coolant o ring (sr20de)replacement job info help.

As per title,notice a slight drip a couple of weeks ago,was not 100% sure on the location of leak though,however today had the car jacked up and it dripped more and notice it's coming from the metal pipe (the pipe with a o ring) bolted onto the back of the head,now looking at it today my question is,is it as easy as it looks to replace ? There's only one bolt holding the pipe at the end where the o ring is ,does the pipe simply lift off letting me to swap o rings,or do i need to loosen the pipe along the block also (hoping not to remove anything to access the other pipe bolts to block) ? I am hoping it's easy and quick to do as it's freezing here now.

The part number is 2104601B00 for reference to what i am on about.


Thanks.

Has anybody done this before ?

Post a pic, I cannot recall what you are talking about. I have always bypassed the coolant running through the throttle body.

Yeah take a photo and open it up in MS paint and circle or draw an arrow to what you're talking about if it's hard to tell

I like pictures

This is it,

Anybody replace it before and how easy is it to do ?

Cheers.

That link to a page with like 10 photos of random stuff

First photo on that page,it's the only way i can get photo's on here.

well if you have the pipe out just use a pick or knife to pull off the old o-ring and then slap a new one on there and bolt it back up. i would probally end up using a little bit of silicone up near the flange where it meets up with the throttle body just for good measure.

That's not mine,just a pic i have found of it.I have not removed anything yet till i know what's involved first !
