Hi all,
A few weeks ago I changed the hose that went from the expansion tank to the radiator. I replaced it with a non-oem hose. Ever since I replaced it, it leaks from all three connections. Is it because it is non-oem? I tried loosening the hose clamps and tightening them, but it seems like no matter what I do I can't get the leaking to stop. Anyone else experience this? I swung by a Volvo dealership today and bought the oem hose, but it was $90!!!! Ouch!! I can still return it if I have to. If you can suggest a way to get this hose to work without leaking it would be much appreciated. My goal is to get my cooling system 100% leak free.

Many thanks,

Laura
