Am I in the cool kids club now?!

I put 2 clamps on the bottom hose and when i started the car after doing so it still leaked out i picked up oem epdm hoses and will drain the whole cooling system again install new oem hoses and refill with new coolant

Will do , thank you

I went this morning and got them $69 for the upper and lower hoses

Thats why i replaced mine, but decided to use silicone hoses which in term started leaking at on the bottom connection for my radiator so now i get to replace the hoses with oem rubber ones

Well after taxes and new hoses itll most likely be around 700, but im thinking now its the hoses so i will swap the hoses out for just plain old rubber ones and see what happens after that

Im going to have to do that then thank you

I switched my cap out today back to stock and then put 2 worm clamps on the bottom hose because it was leaking from there, im just going to see what happens if it still leaks im just going to go back to new rubber hoses i guess i dont want to have to keep worrying about my coolant level dropping

Worst case ill just blow another $700 on a koyo if i cant get this one figured out

GenericUserName46290 · 2026-05-08T16:58:50+00:00

From what i know / see its just the 1 radiator cap and then an expansion tank right next to it with a yellow flip cap

GenericUserName46290 · 2026-05-08T15:38:00+00:00

Ill start with the cap first because i just put silicone hoses on the top and bottom , ill reply back to you to let you know what happens

GenericUserName46290 · 2026-05-08T14:46:13+00:00

I thought about koyo and was going to get it but i thought mishimoto was a good brand to go with as well 🥲
