heater hose prone to death by turbo tony dp. part #?
 

u guys know which heater hose im talking about. mine finally bite the dust today and leaked coolant all over the place. does anyone know the part number ? or equivalent from napa ? or should i try to reroute it instead. ?

Didn't you put any heat shield on or around it?

yea i had heat shield around it, but it rubbed against the heat shield and cut through it.

Bend the hardline on the heater hose out of the way so it will not rub against the heatshield.

You're supossed to take actions to prevent it from happening in the first place.... wrap it up good and pull it off the DP....the fact that you had anything resting on the DP surprises me completely.

Zip ties are your friend!
