Pipes, leak

[jsalcar]

Hello, good afternoon all.

My Bongo is leaking, not much, just a few drops, I think it is oil and it comes from the three pipes that you can see if you look underneath the van from the driver´s side, you can see a thicker pipe with a T and above this pipe there are two more thinner pipes. Does anyone know if these pipes are from the air con system or they are for anything else? How do I know what pipes should I order to replace them? Thank as ever.

Some pics here.

Information on these pipes can be found here:

The thicker pipe with the T piece is the supply pipe for the rear heater which is marked as 61-2D1 on the Heater Pipes diagram. One of the smaller ones is the rear heater return pipe which is marked as 61-301 on the Rear Heater Pipework diagram.

Both of these pipe developed a slow weeping leaks on our bongo due to corrosion. Luckily we noticed the small wet patches on the driveway and changed the pipes before we had a serious problem.

The other thin pipe I believe is part of the rear air conditioning circuit.

The steel pipe went on ours in the same place, and one of the two steel pipes above which send the gearbox fluid to & from the radiator at the front.

You can get replacement new steel pipes but they're a bit of a nightmare to install.

Thank you The_Gordons and Muzorewa.

It is quite strange both pipes go at the same time I spoke to Ian about this and he has one pipe but the others have to be imported and it will take a while, where did you find the pipes? Did you get them from Ian? struggling for time as holidays in Spain are approaching. Thank you for your help.

I needed to replace all three of those steel pipes. The two for the autobox come as one item as they're fixed together with strips of steel. I got them from Warrington Mazda, not all Mazda main dealers will help you but they did. They don't stock any of this stuff of course but the parts are held at Mazda Motor Logistics Europe in Willebroek in Belgium. It's a slick service so if you find a local Mazda dealer prepared to help, you can get them in a couple of days.

Funnily enough someone has just been on the phone to ask if we stock the transmission pipes. But I need to check we are talking about the same thing. Are the 2 pipes shown as part number 19-9A0 on Lush page 1910? Here's the link:

AVA have got one set left. Mazda UK are out of stock. None in Europe either. So I have ordered 2 sets of pipes from Japan, 20 day delivery time. Will place in Coolant section of Bongo Shop when they arrive. Don't know cost yet but it will be in the region of £95 plus postage.

Hi all. I am not sure if they are the right pipes and will need to take the vehicle to a mechanic who knows what is doing, this way I order the right part. Thank you all for your help.
