Coolant Pipe on rear of ew10 being troublesome!

[81505Diesel]

Hi Pug experts...

I have just replaced clutch and rear main seal in 206CC 2L engine and noticed a slow weep from the metal coolant pipe that goes from the water pump into the thermostat housing... I have removed the securing clip but can't seem to get it to budge.. I haven't been particularly brutal as I don't want to break anything.. but any advice on removing it... I assume that there is an o ring seal that may need replacing.

Cheers

Ian

There are O rings on both ends of the water pump pipe.

Thanks Sasink... I thought that might be the case. Just wondering if I have to remove the water pump to get the pipe off... as I hadn't planned to disturb the water pump.. Can't seem to get a clear answer from the Haynes...

Anyone taken this off before? Any help appreciated... Thanks..
