You cap them from the front?.....is there a guide to doing this?
There was a thread I posted ages and ages ago about this problem but dammed if I can find it
Better to prevent the pipes corroding in the first place with a sealer/protector but if they fail, where the pipes fail you cut them off and cap/solder them up, then get the system re-gassed and away you go :thumbright:
Here you go Woz ole chum :thumbright:

Nice one spirit....will give that a read later....
Now this list looks ugly.....
1/ .... clutch upgrade
2/ .... timing chain upgrade
3/ .... redesign brake system/front calipers.
4/ .... seriously re design door lock mechanism
5/ .... research into the suction valve failure & other common engine probs.
1/ .... is this from dual mass to solid?
2/ .... wasnt aware of the timing chain?.....is there an upgrade available?
3/ .... brakes, is this why mine are ***** lol,,,,and make sort of a fade noise all the time?....grooved discs sort this out or not?
4/ .... not sure about this one.....my drivers door doesn't lock?
5/ .... Suction valve.....Again never heard of this?
Had a list when i got my bmw 5 series....swirl flap removal.....water thermostats changed plus coolant (most common issue which stopped car getting up to temp for a regeneration and subsequently clogged DPF and then killed turbos)..... DPF removal and remap, it seems that theres faults with a few manufacturers even BMW.....the swirl flap was the biggest issue as bmw revised this issue by making the metal bars thicker on newer models so they wouldnt corrode and drop into the engine and Destroy the motor (there was a few on the forums that this has happened too) but left older models to take the chance with no recall?
