Heater Matrix to rear pipe (8K520) question

Click image to enlarge

Hi,

My (new to me) 4.4tdv8 autobiography black has pipes that go from the heater matrix above the gearbox to the rear heating. I dont know if all l322's of this era have them, but after chasing a coolant leak, I've found the top of one of these aluminium hoses has a pinhole leak in it. I know its coolant and after presurising the system and seeing it p!ssing out above the gearbox and the sound deadening becoming waterlogged, I ventured underneath, took the sheilds off and got a nice antifreeze cocktail.

anyway, I've identified the part on microcat (8K520) in the diagram, but I cant seem to find a supplier. Does anyone know anywhere I can get hold of one? - or is it best to phone the dealer.

Also has anyone changed one before, or if a replacement pipe is hard to get, is there anything that would repair an aluminium pipe?

Cheers

Neil.

You could repair it with chemical metal I'm sure.

I believe the price for the part if available is in the "you'd better be sitting down" territory.

Recall a thread somwhere that had the owner replacing the corroded sections with good quality rubber/suitable pressure hose.

Hope my memory is still correct. Cheers

Would Chemical metal be able to handle the hot and cold/water pressure and all that? 2010 L322 Autobiography Black Edition

Look up the specs and decide for your self, if in doubt seek from a breakers as the new pipe it expensive or as mentioned replace with hose.

hmm. I think the part number is actually PFV500270 - which is about 135 quid plus the dreaded. Not as bad as I thought tbh. It looks like a bit of a pig of a job to do, so I'd rather only do it once! 2010 L322 Autobiography Black Edition
