looking for a part number

[LostCause]

Allright guys, I was at the carwash today, hedar a loud bang followed bt coolant going everywhere. Turns out I blew a fitting. Unfortunatly its in a ****ty location and I don't know the name of it! Need some help. Its on the back of the engine block, has two coolant hoses going into it, and the fitting itself goes into the block. Anybody know what its called, or a part number for it? I've looked everywhere and haven't found anything. Also has anyone here ever changed it? Looks to me like the only way to get to it is dropping the exhaust. Thanks in advance. I'm carless rightnow without it!

There's a bunch of threads about it. We refer to it as the "Y" fitting. Search the forum, you'll find it. I know Cirrus has a nice writeup with pn's in the KB section.

You could alway search Real OEM to hunt down what your looking for.

It's probably the most notorious failure point in these cars.
