Coolant hose question
hi guys, https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9e62d355fd.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...8b809107a9.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b5e5d9dbe4.jpg recently I was thinking I was losing a little coolant. Upon a quick inspection under car I found this. My coolant is pink so it looks like the culprit. Can anybody confirm is this the hose from the thermostat and if so where does it go? Does anybody know what hose I need to order as a replacement? The location of this hose is drivers side front. Thanks soi much in advance |
Goes from thermostat housing to radiator. You want to order a bottom radiator hose for your year and model. I personally wouldn't be driving it cause they like to burst top and bottom hoses. Silicone would be better :thumb:

cheers mate!!! Is there also a bottom radiator hose on passenger side front area? I am sure I saw a thick black hose down there? |
How thick is the hose in the picture cause it looks suspiciously like the thermostat hose which is on the passenger side. Most of the other hoses are spring clamps ie modine/oil cooler cross over pipe etc.

Is it a case of having to re do the coolant completely? I only changed the coolant last month lol. When I unscrewed the hose clamp the coolant started dripping out - guess is it time to change the hose. Thanks! |
and get rid of the wire clamps for better ones (non perforated jubilee clips)

Did'nt like to say but thought you meant passenger side lol catch the coolant and reuse it I suppose that's where it was drained from hence the knackered hose.
