So I blew my upper radiator hose last night. I have noticed that it seems the stock radiator hose is quite different from the one I blew a hole in. I have a Koyo radiator in right now..

Does anybody know either the part number or where to look for a radiator hose that will fit on the Koyo Radiators??? (The stock hose is about half as long as it needs to be..)


Kicker is I fly to England tonight, for three years, and I wanted to drop the 7 off for shipping this afternoon (not w/o a hose though..)

If your Koyo is mounted in the stock radiator position, a stock hose will work. However, it doubtful you'll be able to find a stock hose locally (this is not the kind of car you can just get parts the same day you need them).

What you could do is take your damaged hose to AutoZone. Then rummage through their hoses to see if you can find something the same ID that might hold you over until you get an OEM hose. Usually in the back of their shops, the parts area, they have a whole bunch of preformed coolant/heater hoses for various cars.

Yeah, I was just thinking that exact same thing Mahjik. Not even bothering to mention that it's for a 7 (mostly I just get a "huh...?" in response to saying the make/model/year anyway..) but just walking in with the hose and looking for the duplicate. Or, worse comes to worse, just get a bendable hose that is long enough and making it fit, for now..
