hi guys
i got a mega water leak, just under the radiator cap there is a big black hose that joins a metal pipe which is "supposed to be inserted/connected" to the "water inlet housing"  [if thats what it is called] can i just quick grip that pipe back into the "housing"  or is the temperature too much for the glue to take hold or is it a 1 piece unit 1990 sw20 turbo i'd put a pic but not allowed yet by the looks of it :}
thanks
john

Has the metal pipe come away from the cast alloy section? (circled in blue below) If it has I'd be buying a new or used one. No point trying a dodgy repair on a car with a complex coolant system. If your fix fails and you overheat the engine you will be upset :)
 

 

yup it has and thanks for the quick reply
can i just buy that top section or is that all 1 piece ?
 

well i know it bolts apart but i imagine wreckers will want to sell me the whole section and whats the name of that item :}
 

The top section comes off easily with the two bolts you can see. Underneath the top section is a round o-ring which you should replace if you separate the two sections. 
You should be able to purchase the top by itself new or used. Start a new thread in 'Wanted to Buy' and someone might be able to help you out.
Maybe also try contacting 'Road and track' who is a forum sponsor. They are in Qld and might have that part as well. 

 
theres a wreckers at burleigh heads not to far from here i can try , they are wrecking an mr2 same as mine at the mo so ill try them if no luck there i will try your ways :}
im new to this mr2 stuff, my son gave me his :} and its falling apart everywhere atm :{ i hope i didnt cook it already
 
thanks again mate

No worries John. Good luck with it. 
I doubt the wrecker will sell you part of a complete engine though. Road and track rebuild 3sgtes and likely have individual parts available to buy.
 
You'll find a lot of helpful people on this forum, so if you have any more questions just post them up. Some of us have owned MR2's for 10+ years and know everything about them.
