Hello guys,

Disco1 V8 3.9L

In throttle body there is a water cooling line which is disconnected in my car as the 2 hose connectors are broken. Does this change in drive performance / or any impact. Should I consider replacing it ?

Hi, a f a i k that's for the throttle body heater/defroster, missing it can be a problem only if it gets extremely cold outside, many V8 owners are bypassing it cos it used to leak quite often

Water cooling ? Better to post a photo of what you have.
There should be two hoses, flow & return as shown below which is permanent what ever the temperature is, if they leak then tighten the hose clips or replace the rubber hose simple.

The heater is simple and quite easy and cheap to replace. However depending on where in the world you live it might not be needed, it is there to stop the air intake freezing in extreme temperatures.
