Help Name This Part Please.

[rmack]

Okay I know what this part is for, but I do not know its name.



Today I changed all the coolent hoses, Water Pump and Heating Tap but on closer inspection of this unnamed part, I feel I should replace it too.

So if you can name it I can buy it.

Thanks,


Edit:Spelling

That's the pipe that feeds the heater. I'd guess and call it the heater inlet pipe. There's a corresponding one on the other side of the block that feeds back into the water pump. That I'd call the heater outlet pipe........ but I don't know what the parts catalogue would list it as.

Why do you think it needs changing anyway?

Thanks BUSHBASHER

The reason why I want to replace it, is that it is badly corroded on the heater tap end,

Okay I found this in the parts database


Part #EF 18C266 A
Description: HOSE ASSY HEATER

So the next question. Is the EF part the same as an VCT AU????

Just out of interest...what's one of these worth? Mine had a minor leak at the thermostat housing end too, I globbed it up with some form-a-gasket type 2, but I don't expect the fix is going to last too long.

I am going to stop by ford tomorrow and get a price. When I do I will pass it on.

That heater pipe you'all are referring to has a rubber seal fitted at the thermostat end. This seal can be bought very cheaply (even at Ford dealers), and get replaced.
I replaced mine around a year ago, after it started to leak, increasingly!

Cheers,

Mine is leaking at the other end. The pipe has corroded through and has a small fracture which leaks under pressure.

I replaced the o-ring on mine, still leaking. :( (until I put the gasket stuff around it)
