Is it a BHC or AMF-engined car?Morning.
Where should I be buying coolant pipes and a diesel tandem pump from
Are there issues fitting a Bosch pump on a RHD A2
I need parts 11,12,15,16,17 from the attached diagram
Thanks
Neil
Thankyou very muchIs it a BHC or AMF-engined car?
Bosch pump will fit AMF-engined rhd car. However - on rhd BHC and ATL cars the Bosch pump fouls the EGR housing and needs an additional piece of pipework to be installed that acts as a spacer to prevent the unwanted interference. Custom pipework part supplied by @depronman .
Therefore if BHC or ATL you will need a LUK pump or equivalent unless the additional pipe is used.
Coolant pipes are increasingly hard to come by - maybe try asking @CreweAudi or the recyclers here (although obviously 20 year old pipework isn't ideal and may be the same as the originals.
A simple way is to look at the DVLA V5 (often called logbook) document you will have in your possession.How do I know if it is a BHC or AMF car
It’s a 2003 1.4tdi 75bhp
Hi Robin,not sure I understand the bit about corresponding to pipe 7that's the one that often gets diesel leaked directly onto it when the fuel pump lets go - above the coolant temp sensor?
Pipe 15 on the first diagram, which corresponds to pipe 7 (rhd, no aux heat) / pipe 8 (rhd, with webasto) on the second diagram here.

I was lucky on my one - somehow that pipe didn't end up getting leaked on, but the one that did get a proper dose of diesel on it and was very degraded was the return pipe to the coolant expansion vessel (pipe 14 in the initial diagram) - I think it is visible in the above image going from the very centre of the image outwards to 4 o'clock.
In terms of ease of access, I would imagine that it takes a bit of dismantling around the back of the top of the engine - cabin air intake trumpet and then possibly EGR / ASV off to get access to the rearward connector? I was able to replace the expansion vessel return pipe myself using locking pliers, and that was definitely available from TPS 2 years ago - not so certain about the other pipes.
Hi Robin,not sure I understand the bit about corresponding to pipe 7
It is an AMF RHD with no aux heat
I definitely need a new pipe
