Please help.... my IACV-AAC Valve leaking coolant from the 90 degree pipe that's on the right side. Is this pipe replaceable? or can I just plug it with JB Weld... I don't have $220 to buy a new one, and I'm trying to sell it. Any suggestions..?

 

Is the pipe even broken? Just take it off and put gasket maker around the edge and put it back on and torque it down. It's probably just a bad seal.

 

The pipe isn't broken. The hole is on the underside of the elbow near the corner, about the size of a pen head. It looks like it might be removable, because there is a seam where it meets the valve. It might screw in? My haynes manual doesn't help any. I think I'm gunna try JB Weld, cuz I heard good things about it... besides... I'm lazy and cheep..:-P

 

Is this the "U" shaped thin rubber tube coming out of the AAC towards the front of the car and towards the firewall? I tried to find this coolant hose and couldn't. (Unfortunately I didn't know it carried coolant until I disconnected it). You might be able to get some straight, I believe it's 3/8" coolant hose and replace it with a generous loop in it so it won't kink. It should have hose clamps at either end.

 

Thanks rosamax and 92 max for your assistance. The JB Weld worked!! I just followed the directions, mixed up a little gob and slimed it on... 16 hours later, I start her up and no leaks...yippie!! :-P
