Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

I just replaced the 2 inch coolant pipe on the drivers side that runs from the water pump over to a 2 inch hose that connect to the thermostat and 1/2 inch hose running forward.

The 2 inch pipe seems to be prone to failure around and above where the 1/2 inch hose connects-I expect that spray from the rear tire kicks water and crude up there. Worth checking if you have an original part. ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>:-) Phillip 87 Westy

Hi,

A rebuilt my 2.1 @ about 120 000Km and soon after that my coolant hoses started to fail. The following hoses burst over a period of about 6 weeks.

The short hose in the vacinity of the dipstick. The two hoses near the oil filer. These where the worst to replace.

I think that was all as this was about 5 years ago....Nothing else since then - touch wood....

Cheers
