Avon Zetec Cooling- Am I an Idiot?
Hi all. Struggling to understand the Zetec cooling pipes. Have Avon radiator, two alloy pipes, three bits of cooling pipe. I understand how they
should connect to each other to make the system work, but I can't figure out which kevlar pipe goes where. Can anybody please provide me with
pics of theirs? Likewise, how do you fit the little side exit pipe to the front?
Thanks

Avon Zetec Cooling- Am I an Idiot?
I had the same problem with my Tiger Avon pipework, when I spoke to Tiher about it they sent me a diagram and it all became quite clear. If you
can't find it on the website as mentioned in the previous reply, let me know and I will post the info on here for you.
Regards Steve

I understand what connects to what - no problem there - but I have these preformed pipes which all seem to be the wrong size and pointing in the wrong
directions!

Fantastic, thanks! Consider yourself owed a pint or two!
Not sure why they supply a hose for the water pump which doesn't actually point in the right direction. Preusme you have to cut it and fix it
together with the bit of metal tube - then worko out where to mount the T piece tube
Thanks again

Layout is something like this, if you don't use the heater just install a pipe from the thermostat to the ally T peice or blank off both pipes.

Got that, thanks - but why do they supply a hose for the water pump to T tube piece where the end points vertically up?

One single hose on the engine?
Who made that drawing?

As it has "Thermostat" on there as well as a separate item showing where it fits on the engine does it not make sense?

I'm not sure I understand your question as the T tube can point any way you want.

Must be my build then - if I put the fat end of that tube on the water pump, to put the side exit pipe on the end would need either a hole in the
radiator or the engine block. Could of course just ditch that tube for a T piece as I'm not using a heater
