Ok, I have a big problem, My car was spewing coolent the other night, turns out I have a hole in one of my hoses. I went to take off the hose today, one end goes into the block... the other end goes into the dash, WTF?!?! I also can't get it out... does anyone know what this hose is and if I need to take it to a dealership to get it fixed? Pix below

 

Thats a heater hose. I think the hose is like 30 bux from the dealer. Its kind of hard to remove that hose from the firewall side but its not impossible. If you cant remove it by twisting and pulling, get a blade and slit it lenghtwise. Dont take your car to the dealer for something easy like this. They will screw you over in many ways.

 

There was another thread on this very subject a day or two ago- see if you can find it, so we don't have to type it all again...

 

Where's the link to the other thread? Just curious, I'd like to see this too, in case I run in to problems.
