R32 Gtr Radiator Hose Issue

[JonesyGTR]

G'Day guys,

On the way to work this morning, i managed to somehow pop the top radiator hose off! I was still in my suburb, had only just got the water temp up. I noticed some steam from under the bonnet, so quickly shot into a servo and found the issue. Top radiator hose popped clean off!

The clamp was still tight, as I had to undo it to re-attach. I refilled the lost coolant (only approx 1.5 odd litres).

The car is now at CREATD as I am getting them to refill coolant and try to figure out what happened. The car wasnt put under boost, and nothing else out of the ordinary occured. No work on hoses etc for a few months.

Any one have any ideas as to a cause, or was it just a case of bad luck?

Im hoping no damage has been caused.

Cheers,

Dan

Time for a new pipe and clamp i reckon. You would not have damaged it if you stopped straight away.

Ok guys, here is what has happened:

The neck where the hose connects = fux0red.

So im going ot bite the bullet and go alloy, rather than change again later (mods are planned).

Cheers!
