Thrustyjust Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hose from the inlet to the throttle body. Some pillock had the jubilee clamp on the filter pipe too close and it seems to have flexed hitting a bump and cut the hose. Its an 8mm hose , but needs coolant type. Going to a mates workshop shortly for a rummage. Got to dry out the alternator too, as it filled that up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrustyjust Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thanks Tom, we are more worried about the alternator , as we can potentially botch some hose. We are going to strip it and check it doesnt short out as the water just filled it as is right above the leak !! Right , off the the workshop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just blow it out as much as you can with an airline and then perhaps finish off with a blow dry! I'm sure I've used fuel hose for my radiator bleed to coolant tank. Mine has been soaked numerous times due to my various coolant system tweaks etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
