hi all,

been having overheating issues and water was always getting low but slowly.. after checking the hoses and radiator i found that the hose which is at the reservoir side is cut and water escapes from there.

i took the reservoir out but found that the hose is sealed on with a metal ring...

how can i replace this hose? and btw, the hose is connected to a metal pipe which goes in the reservoir... can i take that out or not??

 

Replace with a section of hose and a clamp. The factory part 10188032 may be discontinued. Gotta have that hose in place.
