QQDreamer 4th Gear June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 glad u solved your problem. The Radiator pipes replacement is also often omitted, actualy every 2 yrs is recommended to have it change to prevent all this from happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Hypersonic June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 Radiator pipes leaked or burst will lead to engine heat up, very troublesome if your car stall somewhere. I have encountered before, luckily the car is near some car workshop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
QQDreamer 4th Gear June 27, 2012 Share June 27, 2012 so thats why i say its best to replace the radiator rubber piping every 2 years or as required. you will never know. Tires also cannot use that long also what.. so the rubber hose do not have exceptions also. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kr_toy 1st Gear July 2, 2012 Share July 2, 2012 so thats why i say its best to replace the radiator rubber piping every 2 years or as required. you will never know. Tires also cannot use that long also what.. so the rubber hose do not have exceptions also. if the pipe is fake/imitation part maybe, the original OE part should last at least 5 year like tire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
