In Reply to: hose leaking...HELP posted by donalson on April 29, 2001 at 17:06:20:


i'm looking at a car online...the price is right but he says this is the prob

"i found a little leak from one of the hose to the radiator and after a while the car starts overheating, because of that water leaking"

I know w/ out seeing it it's not easy to diegnose (sp?) the prob but would this be a big prob...i've changed the hoses on my toyota trecell before w/ almost no probs.. sould like the same deal here?

thanks
mark

PS i'll keep you posted when i get more info from him.


If you can use a screwdriver or nut driver, no big deal. Change it out. Refill with fresh coolant and warm it up and bleed the air out. 325 bleered botl on top of the t-stat housing. 318iS on top of the radiator to the right of the fill cap.
