pipes under the radiator
sorry not photo,

just wondering - there's two pipes that are fixed to the chassis (effectively behind the bumper) under the radiator - metal with rubber hose each end. a quick look and it appears one goes to the water pump - I think.

they appear to be proper coroded under the radiator compared to anywhere else.

a- is that normal
b- if it is would I be right in thinking many have had to replace these due to leaks or is it just cosmetic?

PAS pipes

they do corrode there, its cosmetic, dont worry about it.

the rubber will split long before the metal corrodes through if they are going to fail. Shocked

should be good for 25yrs or so Very Happy Cheers

cool.

didn't think there'd been any reports of the going so I figured either I had a bad one or it was simply cosmetic.


thanks for the reasurance.
