turbo coolant lines

[x628x]

well the shop my car is in said i need new turbo coolant lines has anybody else ever had anything done with this? if so how much did it cost you and how big of a problem is it?

 

[x628x]

anyone?

It's not much of a cost and it is not very hard to replace turbo lines. You could DIY for much less.

 

[x628x]

the cars already at the shop so about how much do you think it would cost?

 

[Defiant]

What do they say is wrong with the old ones? Did they eff them up?

 

[x628x]

they didnt really say. theyre closed today, but ill find out tomorrow. it was leaking a lot of coolant and steaming.

 

[x628x]

they said it would cost about 200 to fix, incase anyone wanted to know

$200 is outragious even for my currency!!!!

If its leaking its from a possible 3 places if the coolant leak is indeed turbo related.

-turbo coolant feed- its unlikely a line broke so all thats needed is new copper gaskets for the banjo. If the line is cracked, it shouldnt be more than a few bucks from a scrap yard. (I made my own)

-turbo coolant return- same as above

- thermo housing line - new rubber hose should cost 5 bucks and a couple more bucks for hose clamps


Labour might be the only thing they can get you on.
Good luck

yeah it was like $17 for the hose and the rest was labor.

i like your talon you know what it runs on the 1/4?

 

[x628x]

there were four hoses i think

 

[Robby Camero]

What was the fourth hose? Was it the other hose on the thermo housing as well?

BTW, I dont have any times yet, I spent all summer getting this thing tuned and running good. Mabey next spring I'll take her for a few passes.

These parts LIST for $39 from ANY Mitsubishi dealer. Buying all those at a discount from Conicelli would cost about $30. The lines themselves are $11 each and $5 each for the banjo bolts. Buy new lines if you have to, reuse your old banjo bolts.

But honestly, $200 to replace any of that is BULLSHIT. Labor would only take an hour MAX.

For that little hoose to the Thermo Housing I just found an aftermarket coolant hose for any car with a 90 degree bend in it & cut to fit.
