Need help finding part numbers
Ok, so I found that my radiator fluid leak wasn't from the pulley but I have 2 blown hoses that I cannot find the part numbers for.
One hose is the big one that goes from the top of the radiator to the bleeder screw and the hose is a little one that goes from a small nipple on the bottom of the fluid tank to the pass side of the radiator. What are the part numbers for these parts? and about how much are they? |
Just get generic Earl's hoses from your local auto parts store (you know, the one with all the beat-up Camaros and riced-out Civics being worked on in the lot), and cut/clamp to fit. $20 and a saturday afternoon and you're done.

i got the big one from napa some time back for about $14.
they might have both. |
I'm just gonna get them from work on Tuesday, until then I temp patched them up with that self fusing tape covered by emergency hose tape
|
Get the correctly formed hoses. This is not a camero or firebird.
However I think you broke the nipple for the small top vent nose and just think the large hose is bad. |
Yep, your local FLAPS should be able to get them for pretty cheap.
funny story, true story, I took my car to a place to get the coolant system flushed. I told them specifically to call my cell if they ran into anything strange or wrong. I planned to pick the car up at 5:00 that afternoon, after work, which was 2 blocks away. So, I walk down there about 5:00 and Juan informs me that they had to order a new lower radiator hose, as the old one was swollen and they didn't want to risk sending me on my way with it like that. Long story short, I had a brand new lower radiator hose sitting in a NAPA bag behind the seat. Instead, they wasted an entire day becuase they didn't follow my instructions. |
I can see exactly where the hose is ripped. I took it off when replacing my fan switch and didn't put it on all the way and it rubbed against one of the pulleys and sliced right open. Lesson learned: Never work on your car when you are in a hurry.
