I did as planned, though once the braided covering was pulled back I decided one pipe was OK after all.I had to drop a small plate that was protecting 300VDC cables, that gave me more room to cut the alloy pipe. The High Voltage cables are well covered and easy to spot anyway.I used a big plastic bowl to catch all the coolant having disconnected the damaged pipe at the rear end where it joined flexible rubber. Even doing this on the ground outside it was about 2 hours, I envy those with access to car hoists.I still need to watch for any fluid leaks and also I do not know if the PHEV cooling system is prone to airlocks after draining. Time will tell.
