    Default heater tap?

    Hi there

    I was just wondering if you need the heater tap to pass a roadworthy inspection in qld because mine just broke but i have just bent the hose back into engine for now so i don't loose coolant.

    yea the heater needs to be working to pass

    they're not expensive and are easy to change. u will need to top up ur coolent after the change, but nothing major, will cost you around $30

    yes but to pass a legit roadworthy, it needs to be operational. i know there are some out there that will pass some of the smaller issues, will be a hit n miss with them, its only money at the end of the day if u fail..

    Harden up and just fix the heater tap, its cheap and easy.
