1/4 inch coolant line

[somick]

1992 Loyale w/AT.

 

An “L” shaped ¼ hose that goes from the throttle body to the metal heater line on the top of the engine (EA82).

The original one lasted me about 8 years. I keep replacing it with the regular hose but it does not last long (about a year). I’ve been thinking of switching to a high pressure fuel line but still don’t know if it’s going to hold it longer (plus the cost: about $14 for a foot at Kragen).

Dealer wants $13 for the new one. Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but I woukd rather support USMB!!! then the dealer.

Any suggestions?

 

The second question is how to support the site? It is really GREAT!!! (and I want that little DONOR icon at the bottom of my user name……….

Even if it’s not tax deductable!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks

go to user control pannels and click on subscriptions.

 

as for the hose I just happen to have some silicone hose that size. let me know if you are interested.

I have heard of people using fuel line with decent results also.

Or click one of the users donor icons.

 

Order the OEM piece from the dealer. It probably lasted 15 years the first go round.

I'll try that.

Shawn is right about the OEM hose.

 

But... I just replaced mine with fuel hose and new clamps.

I have no idea how long it will last. Should last long enough to get replaced by silicone when I get a spyder.

 

The size is 5/16 inch I.D. (on a turbo at least)
