Those with E36 Mishimotos step in

How the hell did you fit the overflow hose and the upper rad hose on at the same damn time? I had to get an extra thin overflow hose, and the clamp setup that I'm using (since there isn't room for two real clamps) means there is minor leakage out of the overflow hose. For some reason they decided to make the overflow nipple right next to the upper rad nipple, or do I just have a freak radiator?

[Dominic49]

freak radiator? are you using an oem upper hose?

[whodwho]

That was one of my only complaints with these, mine barely fit and had to gently convince them to fit.

[Kershaw]

thats just mishimoto. and they just suck with fitment.

thats why the rx8 world told them to gtfo.

same here. The upper rad hose has a clamp but the overflow does not. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet but so far it doesn't leak.

[whodwho]

With the original hoses and indents from the clamps being tight I could slip both hoses on at the same time with a little convincing. With new hoses and no indents it could be tough.

[Wh33lhop]

Hum. I couldn't fit the original hoses on at the same time. Here's what I wound up doing:



It leaks a drop every few seconds, on and off. It's annoying.

rtv that shit?

[Danny]

Ziptie like I said.

[xwill112x]

danny shutup he needs to put a fat bead of rtv on the nipple, then slide the hose on and let it cure for 24hrs

[Danny]

Or why doesn't it he just JB WELD IT ON OMFG IT'LL WORK PERFECTLY FUCK TAKING OFF RADIATOR HOSES ANYWAY WHO EVER NEEDS TO?!?!?!?!?!

[xwill112x]

lol that would work, but danny, only you would provide that as a solution, as you speak from experience after the way blunt left your rectum.

[Danny]

Are you saying I used JB weld to connect a hoses to my rectum?

Joke failed.

[xwill112x]

eh semi drunk post. i tried. oh well.

Yea fucking stupid ass BMW using hose clamps. What the FUCK are they thinking? Don't they fucking know NO ONE EVER FUCKING REMOVES RADIATOR HOSES?

Third world engineering using fucking hose clamps. Thats right up there with afrikaans using used tire strips to resole their sandals.

BMW needs to be sent an field engineering notice and tell them to mix equal parts JB Weld for their hoses.
