Metal coolant pipes 2001 V6

Post by beachguild » Wed Aug 05, 2026 6:23 pm

Can anyone identify this metal coolant pipe on a V6 Aero 2001. It doesn't seem to match any of the metal coolant pipes I'm aware of but it's leaking coolant.

It's on the passenger side right next to the exhaust manifold.

Can't identify it as such but are you sure its coolant and not EGR piping? Diagrams below for EGR pipework.

We think it's 15-290 at the top right hand side of the coolant diagram here. Any idea what it's called?

Thanks Geoff, on the nail as always. It looks like that part fits all post 99 V6 engines.
