Title: Copper fittings?
Post by: GTRS Fiero on March 30, 2019, 07:07:13 pm

Does the Fiero have copper fittings?  I was expecting brass, but after cleaning it, it looks like copper.

If I replace with brass, any issues?

Where are the fittings?

Well, 1 fitting.  The CTS fitting appears to be copper.

On my cars, the reducer has been regular metal.  I have replaced at least 1 with a brass reducer.  The base of the sensors are all brass.  Copper is more susceptible to corrosion so I would suspect they would be brass.  The first thing copper that comes to mind is the heater core.

I thought of the heater core, which is why I specified fitting.  I have never seen pink brass, however.
