   Its on the side of the VTS lump. Basically i need a 90deg bend so i can fit it all. Is it coolant or heating?

   It's a coolant hose, the coolant goes to your heater matrix in your dash.

   It connects behind the inlet manifold on the bulkhead, is a bit of a bitch to get off but can be done.
   
   You going to replace it?
