1995 855 Removal of coolant pipe screw - how to

lcc014 · Post by **lcc014** » 09 Oct 2015, 05:42

I noticed coolant level dropping slowly recently. I topped up coolant yesterday and saw that coolant pipe (metal pipe) bolted onto engine block area was wet. This pipe is connected to coolant reservoir and then into engine block. There are 2 bolts holding this pipe to engine block. Access to top bolt is easy, nothing in the way. However, the lower bolt is blocked by 2 fuel pipes. How to move these fuel pipes to the side to access the lower bolt ?

I am thinking the gasket of this coolant pipe is leaking hence the area was wet and leaking coolant slowly over times.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks,

That gasket is a real hassle with the engine/head in the car.

You can move the two fuel pipes by unhooking their clamp attachments to the engine, one is located in the same area as the fuel pipe, the other is just up on top of the head. Held on by torx screws. Check out the head gasket tutorials.
