Watercooled turbo Check that hose!!!!

posted by  someone claiming to be AL S on  Tue Jul 31 03:58 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Was under the hood yesterday day as usual. I was doing my pre long distance trip visual check of the engine bay. When I noticed a BULGING hose. Why I posted this is, It is the hose that runs from the overflow to the radiator with that smaller diameter hose that runs to the TURBO. This hose has Three openings. The hose that attaches to the Turbo was the one that was bulging. The bulge was just after the clamp.

If I had replaced my missing preheat hose I would not have even seen it.

The rest of the hose looked almost new. And this is one of those connections that is hidden from view. Those of you that have watercooled turbo's I would make a point to check the hose in the near future.
