Hi all,

I was changing my air filter today and when taking off the cover I hit the radiator overflow hose and knocked it off. This is the hose that goes to the top of the radiator right by the cap. I put it back on but think that it should be more of a Snug fit. It goes on loose and can be taken off way too easy. Should I be concerned about this?

Thanks,
Barry

 

Everybody usually puts a small hose clamp on it but don't over tighten it because it's only plastic & if your still running the factory air filter, it's easier to take the hose off & on to change the filter.

 

A thin wire tie works well too.

That loose hose also causes leakage on recovery processes too.

 

Cut about a half inch off the end. Stay tight clamp it, and away you go.

 

Wire ties work well and are easy to change!

 

Thanks Guys. I appreciate it!!!!

 

Hey all, am new here, last evening was looking through Google for forums to assist with my AC woes, happened acroff this site...was impressed, so here I am :-)

JB, happened to see a same issue with mine today by accident. Had cut the hose and re-attached which was a snug fit. I agree with the others above as I will zip-tie in the am.
Best to you!
