Where can i get radiator hoses

ttroopiec10 Jan 2012, 00:49

Hi guys, after starting my car this evening to drive home i noticed my belts squeeling, thought it was just the cold, well after 1km to get home i parked it and noticed water dripping, so i examined under the hood and found a tear in my one radiator pipe on top, luckily it was a short distance so my car did not even reach 1/4 temperature, anyways.

Do any of you guys know where in cape town i can find a suitable replacement hose? im sure i can find a generic one to fit?

Thanks

The Nissan Hardbody with the K24 should be the same

Hi guys thanks for the info, il take the hoses to some spares shops and see what i can get to match, my hoses were obviously old and got brittle, and it tore on the edge of the hose clamp, so maybe the previous owner also tightened them too much, but its nothing major luckily

My motor sprung leaks on the hoses and then I found that the thermostat was faulty.
