Yes ,there seems to be a helluva lot of areas ( 20?) which might leak if the rubber used does deteriorate over time . :cry:
Wonder if this parts list includes the V6 hoses ?
And -does the V6 have less hoses than the Diesel?

from my experience, a cold heater is usually due to a very low water level, if the level drops low enough then the heater matrix doesn,t fill with water, therefore no heat! I,d definitely get that checked out sooner rather than later! Or, as suggested earlier, an airlock... nearly as bad as low coolant!

An airlock is just as bad as low coolant, airlock can cause the cylinderhead to crack, I Know :roll:
