So my car has a coolant leak, and I pinpointed what hose it is that's leaking. I went to look it up on RealOEM, but the hose in the diagram is routed differently than mine.
It's one of the two hoses coming out of the left side of throttle body. It snakes down under the intake manifold and into the block. I have it highlighted below in red.
The hose appears to be labeled 13541708840. However, googling that doesn't seem to help me. It brings up E28 stuff and the diagrams aren't helpful.
When I look up the diagram on RealOEM, it doesn't go into the block, it goes into the thermostat.
However, the OTHER hose I have going into the throttle body (the top one) goes into the thermostat. According to the diagram, the bottom one should be going into the thermostat.
So my top and bottom TB coolant hoses might be mixed up. OK... but where is the top one supposed to go then? In the RealOEM diagram, it just kind of goes off into unspecified space.
So... what's going on here? I thought it would be as simple as replacing the leaking hose, but now I'm not sure it's going where it's supposed to. I'm also not sure what the part number of the hose I need should be.
Detailed help and/or suggestions would be appreciated.
