Introduction
Hi got bit of a problem. My daughter has a Punto Mk2 on 53 plate 8v and she came to me and said that her car is racing and the temp gauge is at red. So I thought coolant and there's a leak some where. I had a quick butchers and there was a leak as shown in the attachment (small white arrow rhs of the bright metal cover in front). The metal pipe that the hose goes onto has corroded and there's a pin prick of coolant jets from a pin prick hole. I thought hose which is easy to remove and replace but how do I repair metal. Is this part replaceable? and is it a big job to do. I'm not great on motors but am willing to have a go. Could any one tell me what the pipe or part is called and is the job a big job.
