EA81 Coolant Bypass Hose

Featured Replies

Does anyone know of a suitable replacement for the coolant bypass hose that connects to the top of the water pump on an ea81? Mine is leaking and needs to be replaced, but I can't find a moulded hose specifically for that application. Somebody has probably already written about this on here, but I've not been able to find anything.

I am hoping there is a hose of the same size with a similar radius from another vehicle that could be cut to fit the ea81, since it seems like the only hoses available from Subaru or the aftermarket at this point are the upper and lower radiator hoses.

I would take the remnants down to a parts house and see if someone can match 'em up. I have done it that way.

I found one from another model vehicle. I can’t remember if it was from a Holden (GM) Statesman or a Toyota Camry. I remember it had a long straight section on it with a 90° elbow in the correct diametre. Cut it to what you need and off you go! 

Sorry I can’t be more specific than that. 

Cheers 

Bennie
