PAS Fluid Leak FC EGI

m1tch did you get your oem replacement from mazda or somewhere else?
And does anyone know who would sell the pipes or make them up?
Dont mind if they are second hand but they have to be in good usable condition obviously.
Also dthebuk how did you do the setup and have you got any pics? Â£25 sounds tempting and was thinking of putting a braided hose on instead anyway.
I know some where that might be able to make me some up but they want me to take them off the car first but if it snaps off and they can\'t make me one then I am stuffed as I can\'t drive the car anywhere.:Hammer
Thanks once again :Thumbs-up

Took the car to Rotecniks, I do believe that it was bought from Mazda, I got mine 2nd hand first though, but it leaked as well! also clean your radiator after you have it fixed, mine was messy and dirty due to the fluid being sprayed on there and road muck sticking to it lol

Don\'t have any pics I\'m afraid mate. Timmy on here may do.

Tbh it\'s simple, I bought the cooler then bought some adaptors l go between the cooler and pipe. Just jubilee clipped the new pipe over the the sawn off powersteering pipes then onto the oil cooler and cable tied it in place. I didnt use ss pipe, it\'s not needed, infant I may have some pipe left over and an adaptor or 2 if you want them?

Problem with the oem pipe is that it\'ll just rust again and is an
Absolute pain to replace. I guess you could replace all the lines with braided stuff but it\'s time and money consuming. I like my way because it\'s easy and didn\'t fail me, not the best looking but it does the job and does it well. Unless it\'s a full
On restoration project I wouldn\'t bother with a glamorous solution. Each to their own!

just remembered how i did this. I got some small diameter pipe to fit over the the old pas pipe, then an adaptor which went to a larger diameter pipe for the oil cooler.

So I think you will need 2 adaptors and two different size of pipes. Bit pushed for time atm, I\'ll have a good look in the garage 2mo

Have found some braided hose on demon tweeks that would be perfect http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Motorsport/Oil_System/Oil_Hose_Fittings/Aeroquip_Goodridge_Hose_Fittings/Goodridge_200_Series_Fuel_Oil_Hose/1798/2609 and they also sell the clamps and connectors so I will probably go for that and fix the pipe that way.
Thanks dthebuk for the offer of the pipes but probably I won\'t worry with them now and I will hopefully see you and everybody else who is going to RS8.
