Changing All The Heater Hoses (r32 Gtr)

[Taran]

Hey Guys,

I've picked up a heater hose kit and need to replace all of the heater hoses on my R32 GTR.

Does anyone know of a good way to do this? Does the plenum have to be removed?

Thanks,

Taran.

yep, plenum off, i dont see how you'd get to the hoses any other way. Oh and its a BITCH of a job.

leave it until you rebuild the motor? its a crappy job

Or leave it until one of them burst? Unfortunately that mightent be far away since its a 32.

Anyone got tips on removing the plenum?

as mensioned above, plenum removal is a shit job to the extreme.

very difficult even if you have small hands.

not sure anyone as typed up a step by step manual for it?

Other than the time and frustration there's not that much to it. Just take some pictures as you go so you can remember how to put it back together. Do you have the workshop manual on pdf?

Taking the plenum off and backon is a 4-5hr job by itself and assuming its done by someone who has done it before, it's a very frustrating thing to do.

Don't do it mate, you'll end up in tears half way through

Damn. Well looks like a big weekend ahead of me this week.

Yep, i have the workshop manual. I'll go through that and find out where it talks about plenum removal/reinstallation.
