16vsaloon Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 brilliant thanks alot just one more question, will it be the box that needs replacing or just the pipe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 my money is on neither. Its usually the valve, on the baffle where the pipe fits on. But check the pipe for splits and cracks while you are at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort tink Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 just change the valve to the right of the box (valve costs under a tenna from ford) and valve just pulls out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidsy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Does anybody know,, I assume the pipe just pulls on and off easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escort tink Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 pull the pipe where the valve is and the valve will come out(its a tight fit so give it a good pull) then pull the valve off the pipe and then check the pipes clean and fit new valve 5 minute job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
