be careful when you remove this hose at the heater end, if you suspect any corosion in the system, the place where this joins near the heater is known to corrode quite badly as its open to the elements. #-o [-o<

Just ordered a new one for tomorrow delivery........ mine has a hole at the block end on the "soft" non reinforced part....... fortunately I had noticed a slight drop in coolant level from normal...and decided to check out for a pinhole leak during level checks......then with engine running..... away "she" erupted .......from a pin hole....
