The hose that connects the bleeder line into the upper part of the radaiator on the drivers side of the car. It seems to have a down sizer fitting in the hose to adjust to the bleeder hose. Does anyone know the part number or what I ask for at the dealer? The hose in question connecting to the radiator is about 4 inches long... I called the dealer and described it but they couldnt decifer..... I hate these small leaks!!!

Thanks Gang,

Get the dealer to show you the cooling hose diagram in the parts manual. Or aquire a parts manual for yourself. That would be the surest way to get the right part.

 

From what you are describing, I think the part is called a Coolant Bleed Hose, but the part number would depend on what year model you are talking about. Also, the Last 8 of the VIN. If you tell me that info, I can get you the part number. For the VIN, just get me close so you don't give your actual number if you prefer.

 

Thanks guys...... cant believe the dealer wants $99.99 for a 4 inch piece of hose....made one myself!!!

 

Ouch! $99 is ridiculous, and I would have done the same... So many of the parts are WAY overpriced.

Can't wait for my Intercooler hoses to go. They look incredibly expensive compared to that 4" piece.
