Warms the air entering the engine on those cold days. You can find this part at your local auto parts house.

The hose on my car was worse off. Any auto parts store will carry a compatable hose to replace this part. However all the new hoses I've seen are black. Myself, when I did have this assembly in place, the black looked much more suttle. But if you're a stickler for originality, the silver hose is the proper color. -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "guess" <scottymckenzie@xxxx> wrote: > > I've recently purchased a dmc-12 and have a question about > a rusty hole in a pipe in the engine.

From the description I suppose it has somthing to do with the tempurature sensor. I think that the pipe wears out and rusts over time. The pipe on my D is pretty rusty. Rust may have eaten through yours.

The three filters that I know have the valve in them are...Volvo...Bosch....Purflux.

Coolant hoses shouldn't be a problem. You just have to slide under the car to get them, and then bleed the system. The stainless braided line is an absolute must. As stated before, when the platic line gets hot, it will expand. This will cause premature wear of the clutch (doesn't allow full force to be applied). If you're going to go all out, I would also replace the slave cylinder, and the master cylinder as well. I'd reccomend the HCR series mastercylinder P.J. Grady carries. Depending upon the condition of the clutch, you may want to consider replacing it as well. But that's up to you. If anything is worth doing, it's worth doing right... -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, csher52552@xxxx wrote: <SNIP> My question is > since I have the engine and trans out what else should I replace.The > clutch has been replaced and looks in good shape.The slave cylinder > doesn't leak but I'm considering replacing it and getting a ss > braided line.

They are pretty expensive but worth it I think. I also bought an amsoil life-time air filter and will probably put Amsoil oil in my car at the next oil change. I believe it is $9.50 per quart.(25,000 mile) Does anyone on the list use amsoil in there car? Is it really safe to go 25,000 miles if you keep changing your filter? later David ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 9 Date: Sun, 22 Apr 2001 18:53:34 -0700 From: "Joe Thome" <joethome@xxxxxxx> Subject: Oil filter I have been reading interesting if not vital information about the correct oil filter for a DeLorean but unless I missed it, no one has mentioned the Valvoline VO-15 filter as being an approved filter, yet that is what I was sold by a DeLorean parts dealer. Can anyone say if the Valvoline VO-15 an approved filter? Thanks ever so much.

If you have questions about a part you purchased from a DeLorean parts supplier, the best approach would be to contact your supplier directly. Most parts suppliers would be happy to explain aspects of any parts they sell.
