Too many water hoses f7p

Post by linkay »

I was wondering is it possible to get rid of some of the water pipes from the F7P lump as between the engine ad bulkhead on mine there is just a big mess of hoses and the aux water pump.

The aux water pump isn't connected anyway so i was thinking of just binning it not too sure about overheating then? :?

Whats the best set up anybody has found with the pipes because its just way to crowed in there with all the valver pipes?

Cheers Ben

Use all pipework from 1.7 340 and bin valver pipework. You need to swap out the outlet in the back of the water pump too.

It would be nice to keep the heaters, i know the blower box won't fit back in again but, from what i have heard it still works pretty well without.
