Hi everyone, had a coolant hose burst today, evidently been rubbing on something a long time, only tiny hole but under pressure it emptied the tank and some coolant down to that level. Anyway the pipe in question is the one off the T from the tank, so feed from the tank goes down by the shock tower, then into a plastic T piece one goes left and I think to the heater? Or at least that direction the other (the one that has failed) goes down beside the inlet manifold/ steering column and roughly to the bottom of the engine where it joins into a metal pipe heading toward the front.
Iv managed to get a piece of 3/4 (20mm) hose and repaired it but the old pipe is tapered from 20mm at tank / T end and down to maby 15-17 mm at the metal pipe end so iv had to pack the new hose out to get a seal and double clipped it. Does anyone have a name or part number for that hose? As I’m really struggling to find the correct part. Thanks. Rich.
