November 13, 200817 yr My wifes 95' has a "water pipe" made of aluminum that has started to disintegrate where the radiator hose attaches. The local dealer wants $260 for one!! Plus another $20 for the 2 O rings needed. The dealer called it either a water pipe or crossover tube. Any ideas on a better source to get one?? I am hesitant to get a used one. If this one is rotting away I would imagine it's a common problem.
November 13, 200817 yr $50.00, but I'll have to ship it to ya. I could get the o-rings, but only at the same $$ as dealer. PM me if you wish, negotiations accepted;) Lewis
November 13, 200817 yr buy a used one, there's plenty out there that are still in great shape. i have a 97 impreza, 96 legacy, picked up a 97 and 95 legacy this summer for friend/relative and all had the original pipes in good condition (and this is the rust belt). if you buy one from someone here (like that guy just offered), then you can ask them the condition or check out a photo. any yard you get one from should be able to as well.
November 13, 200817 yr Author Thanks Guys................ I haven't seen the part yet myself. I'm out of state. Appreciate the pic. I am still concerned as to why her's rotted.
November 13, 200817 yr Apparently my IT guy has this 'puter locked down too tight, I can't download to USMB. I 'll need to e-mail you. lewis
November 13, 200817 yr yeah i thought that was strange as well that it's rotted. if non-distilled (tap) water is used, lots of deposits coagulate in the radiator, hoses, and pipes. usually doesn't cause rot though. dunno?
November 13, 200817 yr I have a couple 2.2 water pipes, in good conditions. $40 shipped from CO. Larry

November 13, 200817 yr Author I have emailed the following link to my wife for part ID to be sure. It is labled as "water pipe". Is this the one you guys are talking about?? This one is new and only $133 new........ better than the local dealer to be sure. http://fargovalley.hondasubaruparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=215050&chapter=&Sectionids=0,2308&groupid=51823&subgroupid=3817&componentid=0&make=32&model=Legacy&year=1995&graphicID=7521045&callout=17&catalogid=2&displayCatalogid=0

November 16, 200817 yr I've seen minor pitting in a lot that I've worked on... never to the point that it was a problem though. I suppose that since that's one of the hottest points in the cooling system, any corrosive or otherwise unfriendly chemical reactions would occur faster there than somewhere else.
