[s-cars] Coolant T

[Wylie Bean]

Thanks Ian.  I had seen on QW where someone has replaced that plastic fitting in the back of the engine with a metal one.  It has a smaller tube diameter but seems to work fine.

Do the temp sensor, too, and the plastic clip that holds it into the  
fitting.

You might also consider doing the plastic adapter that goes into the  
back of the engine. It's pretty close to the "T" you're already  
replacing, and it tends to develop a hairline crack that leaks when  
the coolant gets hot and pressurized. Short money, and you'll already  
be searching for the third elbow to work back there anyway. According  
to ETKA, illustration 121-50, it's p/n 034 121 143 E, and uses an o- 
ring that Hanz und Franz call a "round seal 21x3", p/n N 900 351 03.  
Impex claims the adapter is $26.91, and the o-ring is $0.78.
