i have a small leak and this small pipe

if i change it will i need to bleed the system and where can i get it from

also i need to change my petrol pipes how much will i need to do front to back in total

thanks in advance

If you stick it's a*** in the air you shouldn't lose hardly any coolant and just opening the bleed valve and running it up to temp should bleed it for you.

Petrol pipe is only hose immediately after (and from the inline filter) and before the tank and in the engine bay, the rest should be hard black plastic which can be checked for splitting but won't need replacing. 2 mtrs is easily enough.

The common thing to break is the bleed union where that hose comes from, it cracks.
