Krzys Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Not sure about it but the D series engines are broadly the same layout throughout I believe. Hopefully someone will confirm or correct it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathalC Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 This was the offending pipe!! so when i was this far i decided a new timing belt and waterpump was a good idea...Come on she deserves it.. She covered more then the distance to the moon and back 300'000 miles and still not smokey or burning oil alot said forfull honda service history (Before i got it i shall do the work myself ) Old belt forgot to snap the new belt and pump on.. Actually this is the new belt and pump lol.. And finally the pipe brased and put back on sorry u cant see the brase as its on the other side 1mm away from the engine block. So if u have a high mileage civic D series engine and ur loseing coolant and looks like the rear of the block/ head gasget is leakingcheck this pipecan be a bit of a faff.. Just remember where the vacuum and small coolant pipes go on the intake manifold as mixing them up could be catastrophichope this helps some 1 and if not u know where it is and keep it clean. Remember it is right beside the water pump so it is under the most pressure even the smallest of pin holes can be a major leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Nice job fixing it mate! What did the old belt look like, ready for a change? Either way can't hurt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathalC Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Old belt was perfect waterpump wasnt so hot tho :/ No cracks was in very good nick considering it had 90k miles on it (to much i know) water pump was in in bad shape had play and the gasket just fell to pieces when i removed the bolts holding it in place just another thing i would like to add if you have the plastic intake manifold (i do) BE VERY CAREFUL putting pipes back on because over the years the plastic hardens and gets very brital due to heating up and cooling down so many times i cracked a part of it that a heater pipe goes on im just lucky i had my mate who plastic welds with me and he fixed it in 5 mins. I cracked it being as getle as i could but that was at 3am. Had to put a new turbo on a 10 Golf GTD with only 10k miles on it before i could get back to my car :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
