Hey guys, can anyone tell me what the part pictured is and what its called?
Where can i find this thing?!


I'm guessing one would need to simply remove the dead hose and put in a new one, add some coolant for whats lost.

Speaking of coolant, what does this thing take?

 

Where at on the hose is it leaking? And you can just take it in to a parts store and they can match the size and cut you a piece.

 

Duct taped area.. leaked once engine warmed up where it usually will leak 24/7 once the engine is on

 

That is the coolant overflow hose. As coolant expands, it empties into the overflow reservoir. Check the parts store. IIRC, its 3/8" ID hose. Do not use washer hose. Replace the fan shroud, too. Those fan blades look hungry.

 

Hungry? they caused the leak the hose was DUG IN by the blades

Just measured an original spare for my 97 i pulled from a yard. It is 3 feet 4" long. Inside diameter of 1/4" with an outside diameter of 1/2".

 

This is the best car forum ever. I used to have a BMW. and every answer was
" take it to a certified mechanic to fix it"

Any other surprises in terms of what might happen next once this hose is fixed?

 

you should stop loosing coolant

 

lol good one man haha
