Hi searched forum I am about to attempt replacing the metal coolant pipe on a 2009 1.9 it looks a pig if a job is it achievable on driveway? and if anyone has done there's can you give any advice as to what needs removing to gain access because it looks to me you need to remove all front end it's hidden that well any help would be appreciated ?

Rasp:It's a pig I put the van on some low ramps and had a plastic step as you need to get on top and underneath you need to remove oil filter housing 4x11mm 12 point bolts I think +the bolt that holds dipstick all the hoses attached to it (obviously) a plastic clip goes on theat threaded stud with loom wires and the turbo oil feed pipe there's a bolt on the back of the head to think it was a hex key Alan type mines an AXB I removed the header tank and the top intercooler hose your going to need a new gasket for the oil filter housing and new coolant and oil ! After you have done it check /nip up the oil feed pipe at the turbo as it will probably slacken in the process if your neighbours are within ear shot of your drive apologize in advance for your language! Good luck bud hope it goes ok
it is a bitch of a job; my mechanic replaced the turbo oil feed pipe as well (mines an AXB) - i didnt fancy taking chances as the turbo end joint was seized and it twisted during removal
Probably only difference is what's in the way as egr and intercooler hose are in different places but I did say to wife if that pipe ever goes again someone else is replacing it!
Get some beers in for after bud it's always nice to tackle a difficult job and win ! T:
Good luck
