Where To Connect The 2 Pipes Of The Heater Radiator?

[omri617 18]

Hi there

got the heater and all mounted inside , and just don't know where to connect the 2 pipes that come out to the engine bay area?? where do they go in order to get hot water running there and back to the engine? photos / diagrams would be very helpful

One goes down to the water distribution block on the back of the engine (where the radiator bottom hose connects). The other is connected to the thermostat housing on the distributor side of the engine.

i'm afraid im not aware of any of these places!

so for now , these places are just not connected to anything?

any diagrams?

The only pipes missing are the two which connect to the throttle body between the thermostat housing bleed pipe & expansion tank with the pipe going straight to the expansion tank from the thermostat housing bleed pipe.

The main water pipe collector on the back of the block where the pipes from the expansion tank, heater matrix & lower pipe to metal inner wing / radiator connect.

Thanks a lot !!!!!

So , I know now where is the DIST BLOCK , and what connects to it !

But , still can't see where the other pipe goes in the Termostat Housing!?

[omri617 18]

I'd like also to ask , which kind of pipes i need to get? anything special with 90 degree?

[omri617 18]

I got the pipes , Just need to see a photo , where the pipe goes in the Thermostat Housing area . It would be very helpful!

Thanks..

To be fair there is nothing else that can be done to help you, short of me buying a flight and fitting it for you.

 

Have some patience and look at the various replies in this thread. Look at your engine back. It really isn't as hard as you're making it

What other pipe?

 

There are basically three pipes to the thermostat housing, the main radiator top hose to the thermostat outlet, the heater matrix pipe on the side (can run via the coolant temp sensor housing depending on age of your car) & the other which either returns to the expansion tank or goes to the throttle body, if you connect them in from the small pipe which sticks out of the tiop near the thermostat cap.
