coolant pipework
My grand voyager 2.8 crd ( 2006) has suffered catastrophic corrosion to the coolant pipes. It's in the garage at the moment but they can't seem to get spares. This seems like the sort of place where some highly knowledgeable soul could point me in the direction of either a supplier or possibly even someone who could make some up for me? I'm in Leeds UK if that makes any difference. But any uk option would be great.
Thanks Andy |

These are the knackered piped.

Perhaps a plumber to make them up? I've no idea how they connect into the system though.
Are those for the aux heater? Shorter term, could they isolate it and block them and the fuel supply off? |
It's for the main cooling system. The expansion tank emptied out through the leak. The pipes are steel not copper which is why I've not considered a plumber. But it might be worth a try...
|
I'm under the impression the aux heater is plumbed into the main cooling system. I'm sure I've read of people bypassing it before.
The plumber was more for his pipe bending skills/equipment. I'd think you could get a length of steel pipe if that was prefered. |
I had to replace the EGR pipe on my 2.8 GV a few months ago. The only supplier I managed to find was:
Oldham Motors Fiat & Jeep Huddersfield Rd, Bottom Of The Moor, Huddersfield, Oldham OL1 3HQ Phone:0844 248 8438 |

It's just a roll of pipe - flaring + bending tool lads, most old hands will have a set. Getting the compounded bends right is the trick.

Water Pipes From Auxilary Heater Leaking..where Can I Buy? - Voyager 4th Generation (2001-2007) - Chrysler Forum UK
Post number 3, Bignev got them. £165. Looked at mines, think they'll be getting a little bit TLC sooner rather than later. |

these are the offending articles! can anyone tell me if these are just rear heating pipes and if so is it safe to just loop them out of the system? thanks

Why not replace the pipes with rubber coolant hose. I've bridged out my Auxiliary heater with coolant hose so if steel pipe which is covered in grease at mo had been leaking I would have carried on the hoses to sound pipe up back of engine. Exhaust pipe in area might be an issue, but don't think it's that close. But wrapping hoses in thin Aluminium would probably do.

I cannot see the pictures (new member limitation I guess) but I might know a man who could make this...
|
I have encountered the above problem and I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction on where to get the part please. I have contacted several breakers with no joy and as I dont have a part number I cant even search for a new part.
Thank you. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.chr...a95f3a5424.jpg |
If you are in or near Kent UK, then contact Fast Road conversions (https://www.facebook.com/fastroadconversions.ashford). They are specialist pipe manufacturers, and would be able to bend / make anything like this.
If you are elsewhere, look for bespoke exhaust manufacturers near you. They have pipe in stock, and have the machines to bend it. Fast Road would make this in stainless steel, which would then out-live the car. HTH |
