V6 2004 stype.

The coolant pipe under the hood broke (the piece that keeps the engine cool), it looked old and worn out, how much aprox. Would something like this cost to fix?

 

It won't cost much if you do it yer self. New/used parts are readily available. You'de need to identify the broken part though.

 

how much is not much though, i need an approximate quote..

 

Um, we need a bit more info... I'm thinking coolant tank connection... Plastic hose T...I don't know...

If you are unsure of what the part is, a picture is worth 1000 words...

 

There are photos on existing threads so could be worth the OP using Search to see which ones match the one in question.

 

Don't worry king, we'll get you through this, and at the end you'll smile at how minor it really was...provided you don't drive the car until repaired.

 

yes Jeff, this is what it was. its the plastic hose part. it broke and the cooling fluid was all over the engine. a lot of smoke started to come out of the back mufflers thats when i pulled over.

how much aprox will it cost to fix and how difficult? thanks

 

The cost of the part should be minimal. The labor will probably be as much or more than the part.Count on a few hundred bucks unless you do it yourself and probably half the cost.Most things that break on the stype will not be cheap.

On another note the mention of white smoke out the exhaust scares me. Did you peg the temp gauge or get a warning light? I hope you didn't drive far on very low coolant.
You mentioned that you just picked up this car. It should be covered under a short warranty if not a longer one. DON'T drive it anywhere, have it towed. Good luck.

 

not white smoke. just regular smoke, like how smoke comes from a burning fire..
i didnt drive long i took it right back and they are looking at it

 

Many hoses and fittings..

Any of these look like it?

 

Cool. Or try the Parts Catalogue (Parts Catalog) http://www.drivehq.com/web/jfenley/P..._2000-2005.pdf
