Homer Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I need to drive my car about 1000 miles next weekend, but the PAS cooler line has developed a leak. It's on the exposed part and appears to have rusted through. While I'm annoyed I didn't spot this before (in my defence the leak was covered by the stock plastic shielding), I have a problem paying Toyota £250+ for a new line. Is there a quick and simple solution that can be used in it's place? I can't have it go wrong half way through the trip so need something that's going to last the trip.

chrispot Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 if the pipe is 8 or 10mm you could use micro bore copper tubing and a couple of straight or elbow compression fittings if you bought a roll of tube you can do it quickly now for the trip and when you are back buy a small tube bender and do a neat job, as you will have enough tube, but dont foget to get extra olives. I think in comes in 10m rolls. regards chris. PS. Have a good trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispot Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 even quicker is rubber hose and clips, would be fine on low pressure side. regards chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
