I've got a split hose that is leaking coolant. It is a small/short hose that is near the induction pipe just above the alternator.

Just wondering if anyone knows what size it is before a take it off in case i can't get it back on due to the split.

Pictures to come

Can't imagine it would be anything special - a decent motor factors should have hoses by the metre..

This chap looks like he had the same issue!

If you don't use the car in the winter you can cap that hose off, it's only heating up the throttle body.
Further down the stream it's also heating up the IACV which also is kind of unnecessary.

Is it on this diagram?

If not, it's worth checking the parts pages as the sizes are given in some cases (also check the clip sizes).

Only vaccum hoses in the link above.

Thanks for the replies I'll have a look at the diagrams

Why does the throttle body need heating up?

Stops TB icing up in cold climates...not required in the UK, you can loop the hoses on most cars to bypass the TB to lower inlet temps.

i was going to say, would lower temps by quite a bit wouldn't it?
are there any guides or pics of where to blocks the pipes?
