So I was attempting to install my zzp heat exchanger today and after finally getting everything bolted up and everything all back together... fire it up... now I have a leak from the left side of the heat exchanger and I'm wondering wtf I should do about it. So the car is sitting overnight right now at the auto shop while I think about this and ponder options. Going to go dick with it tomorrow morning but I honestly think I got a bum h/e. Anyone have any advice or suggestions?

 

Pics?

 

I circled the area where the leak is coming from... its not leaking in the picture because we didn't have it hooked up when i took that picture. any ideas from anyone?

 

Well since that's just an end tank and no lines running out I'd say you got a bum HE.

 

Agreed. Contact ZZP so they can make it right.

Maybe the bleeder screw or whatever they use on that one isn't tightened all the way?

 

probebly an F'ed H/E

 

guess i hook it back up stock way and hope ZZP will help me out

 

Ohh they should

 

I just had the same problem. Filled it and started to leak almost immediately.I'm going to pressure test it tomorrow and see where the leak is coming from.

 

ZZP should fix it, thats impossible to be your fault.

On a side note, did the red ZZP stencil come already on it or did you put that on?

 

Holy ****!

 

..its zzp.

 

the logo is already on when you get it. stupid if you ask me. they arent giving me the parts so why have their big ugly logo on my car?

getting ready to go work on it now... probably just going to take it off and put it back in the box. good stuff. Hopefully ZZP will help me out with this. I tried calling yesterday but obviously no answer its the weekend

 

can always spray paint over it !

 

I lol'd seriously! WAY to go ZZP!

 

Let us know how it turns out for you!

 

hooked everything up again today... still leaks (figured it would... leaks don't usually just fix themselves unfortunately). so off it came and back into the box it went. Calling zzp at lunch tomorrow to see what they say.

 

thats odd...they test all their units before shipping. probably got dinged up in transit. They'll send a new one though. Also odd...my ZZP HE didnt come with ZZP painted on the front

 

Emailing cust service is always better than calling or PMs.
