Colleagues,

is anyone able to tell me how to access the joint between engine exit coolant hose and solid pipe that runs the sill? (I wanted to replace the hose)

 

Like always I attempted a job a little bit optimistically. I have clam(s) off, sill cover(s) off. According to my assessment the only non-invasive remaining way is to take off the bottom tank cover (shear panel). Will I be able then to enter with a hand? If that is not possible, then the only remaining way is to separate remaining body from the alu shell, which I don't want to do ever...

 

EDIT, it's about N/A (not sure if the same as turbo)

Thanks Haggi. Now I also need a new upgraded tank for the complete task to be worth enough my nerves. :) :)  (I will somehow patch the current hose in the meanwhile)

Thanks. Likely by the end of season (otherwise I'd just be doing maintenance/upgrade all the time, without opportunity to drive)
