Yes it looks a very smart job, and presumably opens up the pipe replacement to a more DIY solution rather than body off job?

Yes, definitely a DIY mechanic job and much easier and cheaper than lifting the body. 2012 5.0 SC AB

While we have so many interested people on the thread have i not heard of removing the pump ,fitting a shorter belt to disable the system. What about warning lights.
My neighbour has RRS and the ace pipes are so rusty I dare not touch them ..just coated them with marine epoxy then waxoil and spiral wrap and left him to it ... Always listen to old people or when they die you will live on in ignorance.

ARC pipes are not body off to replace

I've removed the ARC system on plenty of 2.7s, a few 3.0s and sussed the 3.6, but never done it

Do you mean removed and replaced or removed totally . More details if the latter appreciated. Always listen to old people or when they die you will live on in ignorance.

Is that a “not a body off, but still need to lift?” There’s no way I could get my pipes in on the 5.0 without bending the pipes, lifting the body a few inches or cutting them, the bends in the pipes exceeded the space available. 2012 5.0 SC AB

I have no idea about your issue but when my ACE pipes needed changing I didn’t lift the body, I bought some 3500bar couplers from the local agriculture machinery supplier and cut the pipes and fitted them that way. Some have managed to fit them without even cutting them but I didn’t have enough room.

It cost £200 for the pipes and £12 for couplers I think it was.

Hi All,

Does anyone know the pipe size of the ARC pipes. Looking to pick up some compression joiners and should imagine a 10mm coupler will do but thought as you have done this job before you could possibly know for sure the size…. Thanks in advance.

It’s been quite a while but I think it was 10mm. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Thanks for getting back to me. Ended up popping into screwfix to buy a micrometer and it is as near as damn it.
