Hi everyone

Just joined after buying my first Bongo.

Really enjoying it so far but I'm not without question so I home I'm in the right place for some help.

This pipe is leaking and I'd like to replace it.

What fluid should I expect to leak out please and anything I should of first.
TIA

Learning how to upload photos.

Small pipe, left side of engine in an S shape by A/C

Looking at the picture the rubber hose doesn't appear to be pushed on far enough.You can see the flange it should go over and the hose has more of a kink than a nice smooth bend. The clamp is only just one as well. As a temp measure I'd reseat the hose and use a new clamp. Othyerv more expert than me will be along soon..... :wink:

Thanks for the message
Turns out it's a coolant pipe.

Will need to be replaced for the reason you said. Just not sure what to do.yet

Which engine is it? The 2.0 ltr self bleeds the 2.5 ltr need a bit more faffing. Whatever you do, don’t ignore it. Have fun. :D

2.0 litre Auto

Tried replacing it today but the pipe gave isnt suitable. The bends seem a little severe for the pipe though
