Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / January 20082003 Grand Caravan Sport 3.3, rear heating system tubing
Hi When my Van was on the lift (50000 miles, in Canada lots of salt on the road), the mechanic noticed that the two metal tubes that carry the antifreeze coolant to the back heater is starting to rust , especially were the are there is a little bracket welded to hold the two tubes together. I am thinking of replacing this before it starts leaking. Any body has gone through this, and how big of a job to replace. I was also thinking maybe just cutting off that portion and putting some rubber hoses. Appeciate any suggestions Tx > Hi > When my Van was on the lift (50000 miles, in Canada lots of salt on the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Tx Hello: have it done now, i had a 97' GV and had to have the same thing done which was causing me to lose coolant.

So i assume you cut off the metal tubing section and replaced it with rubber hoses Thanks again >i have done many rubber hose repairs on those behind the engine with alot >less [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> have it done now, i had a 97' GV and had to have the same thing done >> which was causing me to lose coolant. yep in some cases i put split loom plastic tubing over it just to make sure it won't rub thru > So i assume you cut off the metal tubing section and replaced it with rubber > hoses [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > >> have it done now, i had a 97' GV and had to have the same thing done > >> which was causing me to lose coolant. Is it the coolant lines or the refrigerant lines? Neither is particularly difficult, but the hose patch would not be an option with the refrigerant lines. > Hi > When my Van was on the lift (50000 miles, in Canada lots of salt on the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Tx |
