Urgent help needed!!!!!!!!!!

[Big Lee M]

I short form i need a bleed valve that sits on top of the heater matrix pipe? The stupid little plastic one that shears which it did

So if anybody has one please let me know asap i will pick it up if its not to far away and just tell me you realistic price. Cheers Lee

You'll need to replace the complete hose I'm afraid.

[Big Lee M]

Please dont say that. it look as if all the thread had just gone on the screw?

[Nuvo]

It's the threaded nut which sit inside the hose which start to spin on itself so you can't close the valve completely. You might try pinching the nut on the hose with pliers when trying to tighten the bleeder.

Good luck!

i have a brand new heater matrix, boxed and the hose (although the hose is still on the car at the mo) if you need one

[Big Lee M]

It wouldn't close right and just started to spin and not tighten so i took the screw out and there was no thread on it.

I have a hose you can have if you like, it has been cut though but the bleed valve section is still in tact. Maybe you can butcher it and get the part you need..

Let me know.

Oh dear, sorry Lee!
If the thread is stuck in and you wat to use the car, cover it in sikaflex. I had one similar, held it until I got a new hose!

Or its a good excuse for some samco's!

[Big Lee M]

Well if i get some silicone hoses i'll be coming your way GT500 depending on price and when you can fit them?????

Think i was a bit heavy handed with it doesn't help when i've got hands like a bear

[GT500]

If you get some, I can squeeze you in. That will be nice having skinless knuckles all Christmas!

yeah i've done the same,but with silicone.i really ought to get a new hose,but i'll wait till i'm in the middle of nowhere with steam coming from under the bonnet and f*cking myself for not getting one before.

Cheers but it's not the matrix that i need just the hose with the bleed valve, well just the screw really

Went to audi today and you have to buy the full hose for £36+vat. I'm going to look foe a metal screw with the same size thread and put a little gasket on it if the one i'm getting doesn't work

Hi guys,

I have the same problem as OP. Do any one know the dimension of the treads on this screw?

The treads in the hose seems to be OK but since the screw decided to "pop out" on the highway I cant use it to find a replace screw.

Kind regards,
Johan Andersson
