:confused: Chaps, having taken delivery of my C20let engine, it seems that some of the hoses have been cut in half to remove the engine.

Does anyone have pics of where the pipework goes and what shape they are?

I looked for a Haynes manual and the one they sell doesn't cover the 4x4 (turbo).

This will be a real problem soon as the engines going in the car in two weeks.

I tried looking for a coolant diagram a while ago but there doesn't seem to be one, which ones are you stuck on ? i've recently done mine so might be able to help.

There's 2 pipes coming off the turbo that are for water. One to top right of rad the ohter to header tank.

Other oulet on left of turbo goes to large crankcase breather with a small pipe coming off half way along to amal valve.

Small water hose from under left of inlet manifold goes to header tank.

Left inlet on turbo goes to AFM.

Bottom left of turbo goes to intercooler inlet. Intercooler outlet goes to intake plenum on manifold.

Any others you need? Can take pics if needed but not til the weekend.

Simps.

i took my old engine out and the garage has had my car since march and still haven't done the engine bay welding. I think the garage wants me to get the car out now because they don't want to do the work.

:cry:
