Hello everyone,
I have a leak from a badly rusted pas pipe of my 1996 V6 estate and would appreciate some information about the part. Its the lower of the two pipes visible in the gap in the front bumper wraparound. Its course is a bit difficult to trace but as far as I can see one end finishes at a jubilee clip more or less below the air filter box and the other end fits to the pas pump. I'd be grateful for answers to all or any of the questions below please.
1) have I traced the course of the pipe correctly and is it easy to remove?
2) does anyone have the part number for this pipe and can you tell me if it was common to all Omegas or just to the V6?
3) does anyone know where I can get one of these pipes either new or good secondhand?
4) if I get desperate could the pipe be repaired by cutting back to a good part of the steel pipe and adding a section of hose secured by jubilee clips, or will there be too much pressure in the system to get the clips to seal?
Thanks for all advice given. I was planning add some photos but can't find a way of doing so here without signing up to photobucket - is there a way to do this?.
Graham
