water leak

[chook69]

hi! i have a nice problem.. well i noticed my coolent was leaking from a short pipe that runs from the top of the water pump an goes to the inlet manifold (just under the PCV valve part).. so i unbolted one side of the alternator an lifted it up an then i removed that short hose an found that there was a hair line crack in that carban plastic part that goes into the frunt of the manifold witch the hose clamps on too.. i undone the bolt that holds the part inplace an triyed removeing it but it just broke away bit by bit, i got all the peices out an cleaned it up ready for a new one to go in, but i do not know what the part is called.. can anyone help me in what the name is for that part?

theres on at the back too...probably just as old and brittle ...might be worth doing it too

ahuh, repco/bursons/autobarn/sca should all have the brass version, get it... worth the money to know you will never have the piece of shit plastic break on you again having you to try and break it out with a screw driver.... e.g what i did lol

cool thanx guys.. but i went to the holden dealer today to order some parts like the plastic connector $ 6.00, connector o' ring $8.00, bye pass hose $8.00, low pressure hose $15.00, reservoir $98.00 an o' ring for reservoir $12.00... $147 sounds good with me.. but for me to go to repco or stuff like that to get the bras replacement connector, i must travle 100'ks OR more as i live in deepwater nsw an holden is only 20'ks out.. so i get the plastic crap just for now as my rego is nealy due.. after that when my vn is up an runing once again then ill go chasing for the bras connector, an yer i will do the back one as well, so thanx for reminding me about the back connector...
