Stoney871 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Look at the large pipe on the drivers side of the engine. Check the top rubber section for splits, cracks and damp spots on top and underneath. If you buy a replacement from Ford they don't sell the top hose by itself (they only sell the part with the metal middle section at about £60). On eBay you can buy a silicone top section for about £15 which is a much better quality part. Top tip- when refitting the hose clips make sure any sharp or protruding edges of the clip under the coolant tank are away from the bottom of the tank to avoid chafing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
