Hello. First, proud to say my 94TT turned 300K miles a few months ago. Still a great car with original turbos too!
But this week it developed a water leak from the short hose that is routed over the top of the EGR. I believe this hose, about 5 inches long, connects to a fitting coming off the "heater pipe feed", to a pipe that eventually connects to the drivers side turbo. I believe I can see the hose in the EGR Valve Replacement photos in the write-up in Technical section here at TT.net (the first photo in the write-up). Looks like removal of balance tube, and water/air hoses above the damaged hose will need to be removed to get at it. It is a special shaped hose (not too special though - slight bend in it), but I think I could use a straight hose for replacement. Anybody replace this hose while engine in car, and got any helpful suggestions (besides a lot of patience and small hands)? Thanks,
Jim
