is this hoes that goes from the block to the T stat housing, the one thats kind of a Beach to change, a special secret 355 dollar hose? or can i just go get a same diameter hoes from napa? thanks spokanesoob

does 355 mean $355.00?!?

 

screw that, dude!!!

 

i used 1/4" fi rated fuel line and some good stainless clamps for that hose and the one from the tb to the heater core hardline. works just fine with no leaks.

it was a joke. i was just wondering if it was a HIgh priced dealer only part.

thanks though i will run down today and get some:headbang:

after learning that the dealership wants like $580.00 for the rubber intake plenum in spfi cars, i guess i'd believe a lot. that's no joke - that's highway robbery!

Don't loose the turbo's banjo bolts..... $21 each bolt! And $2 for the darn washers.....

Fuel line works good. Trans cooler line is better. Anything that can take high pressure really. But both of these get eaten by the glycol and heat.

 

Actual 1/4" coolant hose is the true correct stuff. Carquest ussually carries it.

 

Alot of other places it's hit or miss whether they will have 1/4 coolant hose.

employees in auto parts stores around here are worse than strung-out carnies!

 

half don't speak english

half don't know a crankshaft from a muffler bearing

most of them can't use the computers proficiently

none of them have customer service skills

 

point is, even if they have some true coolant hose in the back somewhere you'll have a hell of a time getting to it. i found a local autozone with managers that just let me find what i need myself...

 

but yeah, glycol resistant hose is obviously better for those who don't want to mess with it for years to come.
