Footballjoe Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Dealer wants about $100 and has to order it. I figure I should be able to get it online somewhere but can't seem to find it. From what I understand it bolts to the water pump and goes to the heater. He called it a heater hose outlet or inlet tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it is a dealer only part. Gotta love northern cars. LOL ETA; You may also want to take a look at a new water pump. Just go to the parts store and ask to see a new water pump the fitting may come with the new pump. If so that may be cheaper than the fitting itself from the dealer.

I took it to my mechanic and he replaced the pump. Thats where it looked like it was coming from. After he replaced the pump he saw the crack in the hose. He admitted he should have checked it better. He ordered the part and said he would install it at no charge. He put a temporary repair on it so I could use it. He got a call later and was told he couldn't get it. He gave me an option of getting it from the dealer or could try to braze the old one. The repair is not holding good enough to keep using. Would you recommend a new part or trying to braze the old one? I'm afraid a used one my cause problem down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
