Kevin.pk Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 because it exploded and about a gallon of scolding hot coolant came spraying into the interior of my car. I just replaced the heater core about a week ago and decided that the old hoses looked like they were in good enough condition.... I was obviously mistaken. Lesson learned. Pictures should explain the gist of it.... 30 year old heater hoses.... and the damage done to my foot.... Luckily I was actually wearing shoes and not flippy floppies Luckily I kept the the plugs for the intake and water pump heater outlets in the car. Popped them in on the side of the road, topped off the radiator and went on my way, but not before being eaten alive by mosquitoes. This is the only time I have been glad the car doesn't have carpet. Pulled out my soaking floor mats and popped out the floor pan plugs and all the coolant drained out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
