Coolant leakage woes...

[silversleeper]

I need to replace the coolant hose that runs underneath the intake mani. I dont exactly know the part name though. I believe it is called the Water Outlet hose, but not sure. It runs from the t-stat housing to a pipe next to the brake booster. I believe the pipe also runs to the expansion tank at the middle of the intake mani.

Does anyone know where I can order one of these? The stealership wants $77 for it. I can't justify spending that much for a piece of rubber.

try pelican, a quick search shows hoses for 10-15 bucks if we're talking the same hoses http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/cata...pg3.htm#item10

This one looks closest to it

But it states that hose is the "Water Hose, Thermostat to Heater Valve/Outlet, 325/e/es (1984-87)"

FYI, I have a 89 325i.

scroll down they have pipes for I cars too. look at real oem for a part # then search for it at pelican, or call patrick at bmp and ask.

That is exactly what Im looking for, thanks Ritalin Kid! Still high priced, but its a large hose I guess. I dunno, I can't keep painting the streets green. 5 Bottles of antifreeze and that will equate to the price of the hose. Ill order tomorrow.
