Fiesta 1.25 coolant return pipe - Grease_monkey
The hose from the radiator on my car has started to leak again. First i put it down to the spring clip not doing its job properly any more so i put a super torq clip on which we use on our trains at work. When i checked this afternoon i can see a very little drop of coolant and when i felt the pipe well it felt like it was breaking up. Are the ford hoses cheap carp or are they off pritty good quality? Is there a known problem with this pipe braking after five years? Has anyone ever changed one?
If you have is it a pain to do? Last one now, should this pipe be braking up like it is.
I don\'t plan on changing it for about 2 weeks because of work.
Any help on this topic will be very much appreiciated.
Simon
