I went for a quick ride last evening I got about 2 blocks from home when I heard a sequel from eng compartment . Knew instantly it was the belt but why?
pulled over and looked and there was coolant in arch about at rad fitting latitude
so went home figured I'd deal with it today.
started it up no leaks...
ran it tilll the thermostat opened still no leaks...
reved her to about 2 3 grand and there it was a hole in that infernal bypass hose .
pretty much deflated at this point .
so it's either remove the water pump or an acordane style hose which don't last and which being the end of driving season I'm not going to salvage any drive time this year so pretty sure that's out .
soo.... the question is what have others done in this situation
I'm leaning at get new hoses but I was wondering if there where any of the silicone ones availed for this bypass?
i would think it would at last others maybe even an acordian ?
is there a technic to get a real hose in there?
