I learned my lesson today. I was putting my radiator back in and decided to change the hoses. I tried the dealer and they did not have one. My local auto parts guy told me he had the exact fit replacment. I figured what the heck its only a hose.
When I was all finished I heard a strange noise. The airconditioning belt cut through the aftermarket hose. About half way through it. I had to redrain the radiator and do it again. Not to mention the engine side of the hose is put on by braile method. What a pain. I put the old hose back on, a perfect fit. I hope one person reads this and learns from my mistake. |
