**Looks like _a-lot_ of work to get to this $25-40 part**. Here’s someone whom had a leak on the other side of the engine, but went to this tube first: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx3pv8fBNEI&list=WL&index=58&t=0s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx3pv8fBNEI&list=WL&index=58&t=0s)

And **George\_San\_Jose1** , I AGREE. I would be happy to use other transportation but I’m stuck as far as 4-wheels go. I have coolant in it now and will continue to monitor as I use it.

_ **So, I ask the Car Talk MultiVerse again, is there a procedure for replacing this tube that doesn’t require pulling the plenum and all its attachments off?** _
