Plastic coolant elbow - BROKE!
I noticed that there was a bit of a coolant loss on the passenger side. When I tried to check whether it is coolant bypass fitting, the plastic fitting broke in half. I have removed the bypass hose from the lower intake (it is just fitted on with a clamp), however, I don't know what to do about the broken plastic elbow on the other side.
Looking at it, I assume that the whole plastic part is bolted on. What size socket should I use? Also, what are the part numbers for the plastic part and the bypass hose? Are they dealer only parts?
Many thanks.

I don't think they needed to pull off a whole lot to reach it, either; I think it just screwed in. Once you get your replacement part, you should be able to tell from looking at it how the old one will need to come out.

That'* what I hope for - I do not want to take off the whole upper intake just for this stupid thing. I'll check with the dealer on Monday.
Thanks.
Thanks.
