coolant hose hitting fan ?

[MR 325]

Both replaced within the last year.

But are they still good?

There is an OEM clamp that holds that hose to the engine lift bracket, pick that up maybe it will help.

i had the same problem with my car!

i bought a replacement hose and will be trimming the part that goes to the tstat housing so it doesnt hit anymore. i trimmed the old one, but i guess it wasnt enough.

how are your engine mounts and transmission mounts?
it could effect the angle that your engine is sitting at which would make the fan get closer to the hose

This weekend I started leaking very badly from one of my coolant hoses. Part #1 on this diagram:

It's the large hose that goes from the thermostat housing to the water pump. It turns out the fan was hitting it. It's an OEM hose that was just a few months old, and it was clamped securely and fully onto the stock location.

I've got a new hose coming in tomorrow, and I don't want this one to wear through. What could cause an contact issues between these two oem parts?
