Tazio Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Gents,On the submarine pipe connecting the radiator bottom hose and the water pump on VX and K series, what's the theory/reasoning for the part of the pipe which is squeezed and narrowed with a flattened portion for a length of 5 cms?. And does it matter which way round the submarine pipe is fitted, the squeezed narrowed end to the rad, or to the water pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 It's to provide clearance for the dry sump scavenge pump pulley, if fitted. Looking from the front of the car, the flat but would be at about 2 o clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
