Call Ray and order the coolant hose kit. It's a safe bet the rest of your "old hoes" are just as bad

Ask me how I know about that hose

Just call Ray and give him the general location of the hose. He knows where it is. Since you need to do coolant, look around and see if there are any other hoses that could use replacing.

I suggest re-using the stock style constant torque hose clamps. Much better than the worn gear type hose clamps.

Hey, I ordered the part, but I just took off the old hose, and brought it in to my local Mazda Dealer (Tracy Mazda here in Nor Cal), and they set me up. It was $29 with tax for that hose (Heater hose). I am going to reuse the stock clamps. They're just a bitch to deal with. I didn't even get to read this second page until today. Since the club was down. I would have ordered through Ray, but couldn't figure out what hose it was. Thanks for all the replies, and my car should be running as soon as I get the part!
