Water Pipe That Bolts to Rear Cover for Timing Belt

Hello all!

First post. You guys have been a wonderful resource and I just put on a new timing belt, water pump, and thermostat thanks to all of the write ups here (and especially thanks to Sir Sam's write-up and great YouTube videos).

The job was a success - except for a little snafu in which I gouged a hole into the water pipe that runs across the top of the engine and bolts to the rear cover of the timing belt housing.

So I am going to have to replace this pipe and I have had trouble finding an accurate description of the pipe or a part number.

I am looking through the service manual as well as the parts fiche, but hoping someone here can help me ID the pipe so I can get my Liberty back on the road as soon as possible.

Any ideas?

Are you talking about the Heater Core hose?

Overflow hose (PN 05086496AA) runs from the drivers side of the radiator back to the coolant reservoir.

Take a picture of the hose in question and post it.

In the interest of time, I stole this picture from Sir Sam's write-up and circled the pipe in red:

The rubber connector hose running from the pipe back down to the Water Pump adaptor is missing in this picture. (If I am interpreting my parts schematic fiche correctly.) The pipe originates near the lower end of the back of the driver side of the engine block.

I will post another picture later today if necessary. I hope to get the part today, but suspect I will have to order it from out-of-town.

It is the EGR coolant line coming from the EGR cooler outlet. You can just cut the line and put it back together with a piece of heater hose and two screw clamps. It has less than 16 lbs pressure on it.

edit: OEM part numbers for pipe, EGR water return pipe - 05142584AB; 05142584AA

How much to replace this from the dealer?
Maybe remove it and buy a delete kit.

Thank you WWDiesel!

I cut the line and clamped a hose on top of the hole. Everything appears to be in working order.
