Broken heater box nipple glue fix....... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] (#81) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Mike Lynch) on Sat, 27 Sep 2003 14:00:40 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My wifes 93 900S convertible has been puking it's coolant lately. The local guys Swedish Auto AB, Mark and Rafael fixed it and then the next day it happened again, but this time it was the upper nipple on the heater box against the firewall that had broken off.
Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately because now I get to Mickey Mouse it, there was still about 3/4" of nipple left, enough to get the clamp on, it's usually about 1 1/2" long and has a barb at the end. So I cleaned it up and used some epoxy glue to glue it on and then clamped it.
So far so good. If it doesn't work I'll just wind up doing it right anyway and replace the heater box, but for the moment I'm ahead the $230ish for the new heater part.
