[Mk2] [Turbo] mr2 turbo coolant pipes?

[hobo]

hi just had a coolant pipe burst on my mr2 rev 2 turbo the long metal one that runs the length of the car
I was quoted 600 for the parts and a further 400+ for fitting which seems crazy to me so i thought i would ask on here for any advice. I had a look on e-bay and there are 3 sets of pipes for sale and im wondering if all mr2 coolant pipes are the same or if there is a difference in diameter between specs?
How hard are they to fit (is it a possible DIY job) what time would i be looking at?

Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming these are the pipes from hell... ie. the 19mm pipes that go to your heater matrix, not the larger pipes that go to the radiator?

iv no idea bud. its the longest of the cooling pipes that run the length of the car according to the diagram i got from the garage,
pipes from hell doesnt sound good

Hi Hobo,

***You may need to confirm the exact pipe that has burst but it is probably the pipes from hell mentioned already.*****

I too was quoted £600 from toyota.
I visited my local motor factors, picked up some pipe, unions and toyota coolant for around £60 which is a bit of a saving.
Not going to lie unless you have a fourpost ramp it is a pig of a job but i managed it in two days in the rain

I will try and find the diameter of the pipe i bought - but this guide was a massive help so a big thanks to the op here:

You need to find out if they are above or below the fuel talk.
If above they are the heater pipes and can be repaired by brassing the bracket back on, or cut back and just use a longer hose.
The fuel tank will need removing to get to them.

Sorry it's been so long been on holiday. It's the pipes above the fuel tank not the easy ones below. Is there anyone on here selling a set or anyone know where I can get them? Or part numbers?
I seen on the last post they can be repaired but don't think my mechanic will do that so I'd rather replace them.

Thanks.

Pipes from hell then... easiest fix is to fit new 19mm rubber hose down the length of the car.

[hobo]

I've just read about that today and seems like a good option to me. How far up do they go as crack seems high on the pipe. I have seen pre made ones advertised.

Thanks

Where about in Scotland are you? I had this happen to me. It happened when a garage in Falkirk was checking it over and they replaced them with 19mm rubber hose. The mechanic has had an MR2 for years so he didn't waste time trying to repair it. It didn't cost a lot for them to replce them.

£85 PMSL for water 19mm water hose? I do like his complete bull write up on it though
These are an aftermarket replacement reinforced rubber pipe

No, its standard 19mm heater hose.

Go to your local motor parts place and get some and save yourself loads of ££££££'s
