Bigjimg Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Fitted some shiny new silicon hoses the other day, been running around in the car since with no problems untill tonight. Went to pick up a parcel from nearby fedex on my return suddenly temp shoots up rapidly. Result, a bottom radiator pipe slashed through by one of the pulleys at front of engine. Never noticed at the time but I had put it on the wrong way round, doh! Just incase anyone else is doing this its an easy mistake to make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oggieteepo Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah thanks mate, got some Hoses I am planning to fit after Christmas when I next change my fluids. As a precaution I alway take a photo of whatever I am changing before I touch it so I have a reference point to come back to. Hope you caught the temp before any damage was caused.
