Re: HELP! waterleak nonturbo RS

Re: HELP! waterleak nonturbo RS

is the hose broken at where it meets (where the hose clamp goes?) if so you can trim it a lil and put it back on....

Re: HELP! waterleak nonturbo RS

update...thanks but it wasnt long enough to trim and still be able to put on...i bought 3ft of replacement hose...but i cant get the damn end off that plugs into the firewall...the clamp is a pinch clamp and really hard to get to to....i dont have the finger strength to unclamp it so im still tryin to figure out what im gonna do

well the clamp is hard to reach the hose goes into the firewall(heatercore hose) and its the bottom of the 2 hoses...also its pretty hard to reach as its behind and below the throttle body. and under the top hose....so i cant fit any pliers down in there

Re: HELP! waterleak nonturbo RS

ok well it took a whole lot of time and patience...but i got some vise grips in there with my hand and somehow managed to loosen the clamp and leave the grips on...so i tugged hard and pulled the tub off.. being retarded and trying to use regular tubing was a pain to get it just the right length for no bends and kinks but i think its going good now...so 3 days of bitchin and fussin...but i got the fuckin thing done....all bymyself wooofuckinghooo! lol total cost 7$ with like 5 extra feet of the wrong size tube included..lol peace
