Title: Cheap Cooling Hoses???
Post by: florigolf on February 13, 2010, 09:45:50 am

Hi,
Here is a tip. I bought a new cooling hose for mt TD upgrade from the 'P' guy. Here is what it looks like just 1 year later after it started leaking. Now I have a good German hose. Down with Chinese junk!!(http://)

It's awfully big but here you go... you need to surround the image URL with the img tag like this (extra spaces put in so that the server will not recognize the actual tag):

BTW:  Was there any diesel fuel dripping on that hose?
