KLZE vs. K8 Cooling system

Post by KA3AX »

Hey everyone!

Okay, on the KLZE (2.5 V6) that I have, there is this metal tube (about 1/4 of an inch in diameter, it runs parallel to the big tube/pipe for the thermostat itself)that goes from the thermostat housing to the front of the engine. There is not one like that on the K8 (1.8 V6). Why is it there and how can I fix this problem, it looks like there should be a hose to go on it but I can't find one on my car. (Probably because the K8 did not have this metal tube ;) ). What I was thinking is maybe I could just put a plug on it but not sure.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

where abouts on the motor is this..Get us a pic

Only thing i'm thinking is the EGR
Theres the rad hsoe that goes into the thermostat then the 2 heaters hoses that go to the core inside the firewall. The rest are hard pipes under the intake manifold.

Get pics and i'll help you out!
