I have a problem with my washers hose melting from the heat of the manifold, even though I have protected it with heat protective sleeve like this.

What do you other guys use? Is there other better sleeves that could work? Or will a braided stainless steel hose work better inside the sleeve? Thankful for tips!

 

Am I really the only one with this problem?...

 

Is your manifold heat wrapped? and are you using a turbo blanket?

 

My manifold is not wrapped, but it's ceramic coated. I also use a turbo blanket.

 

Interesting. Never had this issue. Some form of wrap/sleeve is probably your best bet.

EDIT: didn't read that you are STILL melting them with sleeves. I'd switch to a hose with a higher temperature rating (same ID) and reuse the sleeves.

 

I removed my windshield washer bottle/hoses... I just make sure I have a bottle of water under my seat if I'm driving on a crappy day and put my arm out the window and spray the windshield... seriously

 

Silicone tubing instead of vinyl, at least 250 degrees better

 

Lava Mat.

 

LOL, that is awesome!!!

 

It works, but I never drive the car when it rains anyways so I never need it
