help, while replacing the thermostat, this connector snapped, anyone know what it’s called? Do I need to replace the pump now?

Just my luck, FPace smelled a bit like coolant, noticed moisture and a minimal puddle, traced it to the thermostat seal. Swapped it and then notice this small hose connector had broken off while I was I stalling the thermostat. One little job now became a bigger headache. Is anyone familiar with this piece?

That is a one time only push in fitting. New water pump and hose is our shop's policy because no other repair will keep it from leaking.

Did you replace the water pump yourself? And if so how difficult was it/special tools required?

I got lucky, chatted with one of Jaguars service techs and he was able to get me the ring that broke. I ended up buying the new hose kit because the 90°bend port had broke as well.

I did not need to replace the water pump
