Coolant pipe October 13, 2021, 12:17:10 PM I’ve just bought a new coolant pipe for my mk2 8v gti but it doesn’t seem to match the old one in my car (unless that was modified)The new one has an outlet near the top that faces towards the engine which matches the picture in my Hayes manual. This outlet isn’t on the one in my vehicle. Where is this supposed to go to or can I just block it up?
Re: Coolant pipe Reply #1 – October 13, 2021, 12:43:22 PM Do you mean the metal water pipe that wraps around the engine?I believe there are different specs depending on engine configuration I suspect you have the wrong one for you car
Re: Coolant pipe Reply #2 – October 13, 2021, 12:58:17 PM Yes the metal one that runs around the carThere are 2 versions and I bought the injection model version through VW heritage. It’s the same image in the Hayes manual and also from the VW dealer. Looking at the Hayes manual the carburettor version has the same outlet - so both versions have itThe one on my car had been modified - as in it looked like that section had been cut out as there was a rubber pipe connecting the (now) 2 parts. If someone can point to me what the alternative version would look like as I’ve not see it Last Edit: October 13, 2021, 01:01:01 PM by Swissalan

Re: Coolant pipe Reply #4 – October 14, 2021, 05:12:17 AM Does what you bought look like this? This is an 89 8v GTi pipe.Check and confirm part numbers here, https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/golf/go/1989-92/1/121-19000/#8How is your oil cooler connected? Your GTi may be fitted with pipe 027 121 065 C ? Google the part number to see one. Don't just block the hole, it does a job on a GTI.. Last Edit: October 14, 2021, 05:28:10 AM by PWardy
