compo71 Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Doing 70 ish along the 419 and bang, what the f**k was that!! Water and steam and antifreeze everywhere! Coming out of the vent, grill, light clusters! What a green mess, all over the car! Opened bonnet, top hose totally split from one end to the other! Oh f**k i thought! Call dad (he is a mechanic)! Tells me 2 get some hot water, just talk nicely to the locals etc. Take off rad cap, fill up, check temp and drive very slowly! Made it to my dads house, temp never went up much! Dad made temp repair to check head gasket was ok and it is. Getting a new hose 2morrow. GOD THAT WAS CLOSE..........
monkip1 Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 I replanced all my coolant hoses 2 months after ownership, as the old pipework was quite stiff in brittel. Looks nice now
jd Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 probably a coolant hose fitted on a fuel line?
