Z1 Q50 / Q60 / Z VR30 3.0t Aluminum Lower Water Neck

The product on this list is correct and brand new. Thank you!!

Finally got around to installing this...nice replacement for the OEM plastic one, but I would recommend installing when the motor is out if possible. The instructions were a little off...just as someone else posted earlier about. The main error was the location of the drain for the cooling system. The instructions reference the drain for the intercooler system, the correct one for the radiator has a petcock that you must attach a small amount of tubing to help drain out. The area around the water neck is VERY tight and you really have to get creative on how to get to the bottom bolt using different socket attachments. Other than that, nice part...just wait until you have other things to replace or upgrade!

Part is great-- installation instructions are oversimplified and inaccurate. There was no mention of having to remove the coolant reservoir or the hard plastic shroud for the wire harness directly above the neck (driver side air box removal optional). Leaving both of these parts in place (as the installation instructions imply) make it impossible to access to three bolts to the water neck.

It's been on my for 10 months at this point. It's solved a potential failure point; it will likely outlive my car.

z1 seeing a common factory part failure and providing a superior solution eager for the engineering group to tackle all the other issues with the q50 q60 platform

Crazy easy to install and looks way better than that plastic elbow that was previously on there
