Toon Chris Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 My beloved Z has got it's first proper mechanical fault (apart from the odd whine here and there). One of my p/s pipes is leaking from a rubber section. I haven't been able to see the exact spot myself but my local garage says it is in one of the pipes at the 'cooler' end of the piping (as opposed to the pump end) My question is, is the rubber piping bonded with the metal piping or can it be taken of and replaced with clips? The manual shows it is clips but looking in from under the bonnet the top end of the pipes look like the rubber is bonded in, i.e. pinched into and permanently fitted to the metal section. Presuming that suitable piping isn't that hard to come across (?) can someone recommend a source and suitable clips to use? If the rubber part is bonded in then I guess I will need a replacement set of pipes, unless it is feasible to hacksaw of the bonded ends and fit pipe over them? Clearly I do not want to pay for Nissan new parts so any suggestions gratefully received. It's a 04 car and as you may be able to tell, I have no garage and no way to take a look for myself If anyopne has a clear memory or facies a quick look at some pipes they have on the shelf (you never know) then that would be fab. Piccies would be even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
