I have a 98 XCv70 5 cyl turbo, the lower heater hose started leaking
where the rubber meets the metal. The leak began to get worse, however
we were able to temporarily stop the leak by gently prying the hose
away from the oxygen sensor contraption. This stopped the leak, no
noticeable leaks when car is on my carport. However the low coolant
light came on again this morning. I now have a small drip coming from
the hose in the same place. I prefer to do my own mechanic work if
possible. I have found the hoses on the internet for about $30 each, I
was planning on replacing both of them while in the area. I searched
the archives and read that the intake could be taken loose and moved
to access the hoses better. Is this the best way to replace the hoses.
I have friend who owns a tire store w/ a lift I could use if under the
car replacement is acceptible.
How do you get the hard lines removed from the heater core? What type
of tool is needed? any further advice/ info is appreciated
