Heating & Cooling / Re: Mk2 GTi 16V coolant leak
Hi Monkey,

Thanks for the reply. It is a 1990 GTi 16V, I'm pretty sure the flange is black plastic. I've put some photos on the facebook page seeking some help.

Thanks.

Heating & Cooling / Mk2 GTi 16V coolant leak
Hi all,

Just joined this site as am the proud owner of an oak green 1990 16V GTI.

I have a coolant leak coming from the passenger side of the engine block just below and further forward of the distributor.

Appears to be a faulty flange that needs changing and probably the rubber hose going into it.

Two questions please;

1. Can someone direct me to the correct parts - I've been google'ing but I keep being directed to what I think is the wrong flange.

2. Is this an easy home job or should I go to a mechanic (I'm reasonably proficient but have only really worked on air-cooled VW'a) and don't really know my way around this engine just yet.

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Simon
