Hoses

[edals]

Hi Guys.

Im Having a Stupid moment right now, But are these Trans or Power steering hoses Highlighted here.


Both of these hoses are leaking on my VY & Need to be replaced. Also how hard are they to replace once i know what hose these are.

Cheers

Trans lines.

They aren't very hard to replace, but they are a bit fiddly to get out and back in.

Cheers Mate, How do i go about removing them? Do they Screw off or something ?
Taking about the Rubber hoses connecting the lines to the radiator lines.

They unscrew at the screw fittings at the front of the engine (right above the stabilizer bar), there is a bracket with a 13mm head bolt holding them to the engine block just behind the power steer pump, then they unclip from the transmission fittings. Do all that, then you will be able to maneuver them out of the car. Re-fitting is obviously a reverse procedure.

Edit: You might need to remove the exhaust y-piece to get them out (i've never actually taken them out on there own, i've only removed engines around them).

Aww Crap, I was hoping the rubber hoses would de-tatch but its a whole complete line. Any idea what they retail for ?

[Blown V6 Hatch]

Na mate, complete line unfortunately.

No idea what they would be worth to buy.

Thanks For Ya help Mate, Bit Pissed cause i just purchased it last week. Depending on the cost wonder if i can seal it off with a heap of heat silicon lol

OK, I went to the dealer, and they are about $100 each for the hose.

Turns out on the VY they disconnect just near the PS pump at the front thats highlight above.
Im thinking, maybe i can just disconnect the hose, then get the old style radiator connectors like on the VR radiators, screw them into the VY radiator, then just get some plan transmission hose and clamp them up.
Possible or am i just nothing but a dreamer ? lol
I just got the car so im broke. Any Ideas would help just to tie me over.
I was also going to try just cleaning the hoses and getting some heat silicon on to them lol

Cheers Guys

Not ideal, but it might work. I wouldn't do it though.

Mabye try one of those mobile hose repair guys? They might be able to fix it on site.

silicon is for plumbers.

you can probab ly get some hoses made up at a hydralics workshop or something which may work out cheaper.

[edals]

Well Trying the silicon for now, just till have have a bit of cash to get it sorted, see how well it goes lol

Get some braided hose, a few -6an fittings and you are good to go. Enzed can be quite helpful, I believe TUFFVQ used these guys when replacing his trans cooler lines and I know I intend on doing the same in the next week or two.

Yeh, that's a cheap fix.....

Cheaper than having to tow your car home because it's ####ed it's tranny fluid all over the freeway (trust me on this one). Sure a dodgy fix might last a day, a week, a year or even a few years but when if fails it will be costly; transmission hoses are high pressure lines, not something you should be patching with silicon.

Wheres the Aussie Spirit of She'll Be Right mate ? LOL, dont worry, hope to have some new hoses soon.

True, but i wasn't suggesting a dodgy fix. Buying new lines (the right ones) would be a cheaper fix than braid & screw on fittings.

Also, IMO, transmission lines should always be steel, just with flexible line at the trans cooler end.

Ok, So Since i gave the silicon a go, I have now confirmed the Leak is where it plugs onto the metal Pipes @ the PS Pump, They are the Quick release push type connectors. Now do these usually have a O ring that i could try & replace ? so the hoses are fine, its just leaking at the connection.

No Matter Guys,

I Found the exact thing i needed after all this time searching. Found here.
Disconnecting transmission line.
Dunno where i will get the tool though.
