Help!
Need a heater hose for an 80 with an AAD engine. The bleed screw has come out on mine. Please! |

Put some silicone gasket maker on that screw and screw it back and don't use it anymore, that screw isn't needed anyway.

I've patched this up a few times using a short M8 13mm bolt and force threading it into the hole, once its found its way in it can easily be removed and refitted to bleed the system. Bodgery I know but it works fine and saves buying a new hose. Forgot to add you need to pick the metal insert out of the hose for this to work.

Thats what I've done, only I wrapped a little PTFE tape around the thread just for peace of mind. I'm trying to keep my engine bay as original as possible, so a replacement is still on my wishlist.

P.S. B3 doesn't have any bleeding screws at all, at least early ones. |
