metal cooling pipe
Monday, February 06, 2012 6:18 PM
My son's 99 sunfrie 2.2l has a leak in the metal hose/tube that runs from the passenger side of the head across the front of the engine right above the exhaust manifold. I can't find this part anywhere. I've looked on GM parts websites, AZ and Napa. Can anyone tell me what it's called and where I can get one. I need to get it back on the road!
TIA

have you tried auto wreakers? Is it cracked? If you cant find one, maybe you can get a welding shop to weld it up? Just an option... not sure of the name, I would assume its "metal coolant tube/pipe"

It's held together by corrosion! I I'd try to weld it but I think it would turn to swiss cheese. I'm going to call the stealership after work today and see what I can find out.

Just grab one from a local salvage yard, it'll take 5 mins

Ya this would be the only option other than buying a new dorman unit.

I believe its the upper coolant hose; its the black pipe that runs right in front of the engine above the exaust manifold?

i had mine done a few years ago; a frined of mine got me a brand new one from the dealer... i can try and find a receipt with a part number if ya like..

Called the stealership today. It's $100 from them and Doorman doesn't have that part. Did some additional looking and ended up replacing the Tstat. Now to get the air out of the system. The bleed valve isn't going anywhere.

I just found a leak in this part in my car, coming out of the bottom side of the welded 90 degree joint on the passenger side of the block. How much of a pain is this part to remove to fix or replace? Any tricks to it?
