Coolant Bulkhead Fitting Snapped

[AngusR]

Hi All,

2015 Seat Leon FR 2.0 TDI

The smaller hose connector on the hard plastic bulkhead fitting for the inlet to the heater matrix has snapped, causing me to loose A LOT of coolant.

Has anyone had much luck in replacing this connector or coming up with a short term fix?

Photo of the culprit and screenshot of the coolant hose schematic (black circle, line with NRV No.11) included.

Note No. 12 is the heater matrix.

It looks like you're going to need a new coolant hose.

It looks like you're going to need a new coolant hose.

Surely I can replace the hard plastic fitting, remove the broken piece of fitting from the small hose and refit it to the new fitting?

From memory, I don't think the plastic piece is available separately from the hose.

I think you're right.

Looks like the part number is 5Q0122157CE.

Looking at it, I reckon you could remove the hoses and just use the fitting.

Happy to be corrected though!

The image is how it's supplied, as a full piece.

You could remove the large hose and use a jubilee clip, the smaller hose has a reusable spring clip.

Corrected part number is - 5Q0122157CL
