VXR8 Check your heater hoses are not rubbing
Discussion
Hi all, thought I would give the bonnet a lift and have a check this eve, car has had a misfire recently and noticed water droplets/stains over the HT leads near back two pistons drivers side, thought it was the headers gasket leaking on cold start up, but found the heater hoses had rubbed a hole in the hose on one of the coil packs holding bolt heads and was dripping water down over the coil pack, may have been what was causing the misfire.
Going to change HT leads and the hose set that I have ordered from MF Cheers Andy for the help and was shocked on how cheap the hose set was!!!!!

I can't remember having to move pipes to get to the banks of coil packs on either of ours, thought it's very seldome that I get under the bonnet.
Perhaps when the charger was fitted they re run the pipes a different route?ARAF said:
As requested, standard run in the below picture. Good job you mentioned it though, as there is a little rubbing where the hoses lay across the fuel rail. Just getting through the protective sleeve after 37k miles, so I'll get it protected.
Hmm, might give mine a look tomorrow in that case !Gassing Station | HSV & Monaro | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
