hey guys the the nipple sticking up out of the rear iron for coolant where can i reroute it. The engine is a s4 i thought about taking it to the back of the coolant neck housingg.

 

i think most ppl just take it to the back of the water pump housing

 

yea thats i meant just was unsure if the coolant flows in the same direction.

 

That's where it's supposed to go, it just normally gets there via the TB and BAC valve.

 

^^^^thanx will it be a straight shot???what do ya reccomend

 

I recommend coming down to dallas and picking up these wheels!!! lol, jk.
It won't be a straight shot, but not like a huge *** bend either. I say just get some typical flex hose that fits and run it up!

 

^^^^LOL you crazy ******* hahaha....man iam really sorry dude...i have so much damn stuff goin on hahahah...you goin to the bbq in okc??

 

how terrible would it be to cap that line? when i got my car mine was capped.

 

I would love to, hopefully I will have all my tags up to date by then and can get the beast back on the road! But I don't think she will be out again till mid November....grrrrrrr......... But no worries man, I understand. Have fun up there, maybe I'll see ya!

wackaloo- I would think that capping that line would be a bad thing, a very bad thing, but If you have been running with no problems....... I dunno. Looking at the flow chart in the FSM it looks like that just feeds the BAC and throttle body.

 

Not a bad idea, but... I would never trust my car to a coolant bypass cap. They eventually fail. You can however, take a section of hose, a 10mm bolt with 3/4" unthreaded section... then clamp the hose to the nipple, then insert the bolt with the threads cut off and any sharp edges removed and clamp the hose onto that. Never fails.

This is what I did for my AST elimination on the FD.

 

hhhmm wll the reason i ask is that i have it capped iam just afraid of being out somewhere and it goes...leaving my *** in trouble!!!

 

Keep a spare cap.

I used the bolt-in-hose method without problems, though I'd much rather do what I've seen done before, which is remove the nipple with vice grips, then tap the hole and insert a threaded plug.
