leaking ACE pipe

treasureseekers · Apr 5, 2012

Hi could do with some advice please.

iv ordered some ACE pipe inserts today and my question is:

If i change the ACE pipe inserts is it as simple as topping up the ACE with fluid once the job is complete.

Thanks Peter

Yes, but you'll need to chuck it around a few corners before the system bleeds itself through. Might take a while before the amber light goes out. Other option is to get someone with the right diagnostic gear to get it to go into its self bleed process.
Word of warning though. I had a leaking pipe and a couple of attempts with new seal kits didn't fix the leak. Finally found it when the pipe sheared off at the crimped collar where the plastic collet fits.

Many thanks for that, I don't suppose you know if the O rings can be replaced on the inserts; it's the Easter Hols and I can't imagine anywhere being open today. The ACE pipes were replaced very recently and still look almost new, so I don't think that they are the problem. I changed the ACE sender/transducer yesterday after developing a problem with that, I wonder if it was this that brought the leak on as it wasn't leaking before.
Thanks Pete
