Hey all

I have question. Just to get on the same page, my 13 year old stock radiator cracked so obviously I had to change it. Luckily no over heat or anything.

But! unfortunately as I was purging the air out of the radiator I happened to break the hose under the bleeder valve with a wrench so I wasnt able to get the air out of the system.

This is probably a rhetorical question but just for the sake of me getting done right the first time I want to make sure this is a heater hose. (THE ONE UNDER THE RED CIRCLE)

Thanks to AusS2000 for the picture I am borrowing,



Also I guess I wont know till I get the hose replaced (dont worry im not driving it) but before I cracked the hose, my heater still wasnt getting hot. I had purged what air I could up until

I cracked the hose. Any ideas?

 

The heater doesn't get hot because you have air/low coolant in the radiator/engine

After you replace the hose follow billman250 bleeding instructions

 

would you happened to know what size that hose is?

 

I have no idea but you can pm billman250 he is a s2k god

 

At work (I'm a honda tech) we use a coolant bucket, pour coolant into the bucket, set the heat to max hot and set the fans to full speed, then let the car idle until the lower rad hose gets hot. The air will bubble out of the coolant bucket and life will be grand.

The coolant bucket looks like this. ~$15 item.
