its located on the plenum at the back of the engine, you will need to remove the aac valve and move some wires out of the way. you will see a little 90deg rubber house connecting to the plenum, that will be it. you can reach it with a long set of pliers and disconnect it.

what’s even more difficult, it's also bolted down by a bracket right at the back of the engine near the gearbox, i just broke mine because i was replacing the whole line anyway but it’s a !@#$ to unbolt that little bracket. good luck!

cheers!

Thats what i did. Got a fitting brazed on the stock water line in a accessible spot

i wanted to do this too as my kkr480 turbo is not water cooled so i want to use a braided line to loop them. where can i find a product to suit?

I don't like chopping and brazing the stock line, but some do it.

Hell, some even just use an olive fitting screwed on.

Some even more ghetto people just use a piece of rubber hose to join it.

The way I like to do it is to take the stock line off, wraps around the back of the block, and have a braided line made up for the whole way.

Behind the block on the stock line is a little rubber hose joiner - being 10+ years old, it is likely perished or about to leak. If you do it right now, it will save having to take the line out later.
