Brera 1.75tbi Coolant Pipe

[Monkrover]

Hi all, I usually inhabit some of the other groups on here but wonder if someone can help me.

My son's Alfa Brera (1.75Tbi) is loosing coolant through the bleed screw area at the back left of the engone (as you look at the car). It's a hard plastic 3-way pipe with a plastic bleed screw. However, I cannot find, at all, what this pipe is called, or find it on the web. Even the local dealer hadn't a clue.

I'm trying to get either a replacement screw and O ring or new pipe but don't know what to ask for. The car is unmodified.

Picture here hopefully shows what it looks like. Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Cheers all.

My TBi is long gone now but I can highly recommend talking to Alfa Workshop in Royston, they probably know as much as Alfa about these engines.

Use some loctite 55 on the threads and don't overtighten it

I asked Alfa about this also.. blank stares, it’s not on ePer (or wasn’t 2yrs ago)

There is an o-ring under the screw that sits in a cutout on the end of the pipe sealing it all, make sure it’s not lost - if it is (I lost mine), it’s a standard size and easy enough to replace/source.

From memory I also bunged a slightly larger screw/bolt into it all too as the plastic had deformed.
