xoomer Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Ok... I was going to give up... Just get another Subaru... (05 WRX) I get to the dealership... and I find out why my Ru was missing and why I was loosing water... The hose directly above the waterpump was bad.. and spraying every were so now Its a matter of getting in there and fixing it... so I'm going back to my K-Car for a little while... this sucks.... I was hoping to have a wrx.. but its nice not having to have a car payment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misledxcracker Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Glad you found out what was wrong with your Soob! Car payments are no fun... You have a K-Car? I also have one, a 1987 Dodge 600... I almost love it as much as the Soob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an hour and some heater hose and you'd be good to go... or am I missing something? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarian Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 It's hard to find heater hose the right size, but 5/16 fuel line works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I think I've gotten that from Napa. Just get an elbow in the right diameter and trim it to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Price it at the dealer. It lasted this long, its worth the $10 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 If you are talking about the 90* hose from water pump to heater supply tube that runs under the intake manifold, I found an alternate replacement. Subaru parts are hard to find in my area, so I did some research. A Gates #28446 hose will fit with some trimming. Here's a pic of the 2 hoses. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c264/TomRhere/White%2086%20BRAT/oldandnewhoseforheater.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
