I did a search and can't find this mentioned, but today whilst working on my car I noticed a gash in the upper rad hose where it had been rubbing on the air channel guide.

The gap between the hose and plastic guide is very tight and I can only assume the combination of soft mounts and fast right handers bring the two together occassionally.

The abrasion is down to the cords, so it was only a matter of time before it burst.

After fiting a new hose, I cut away some of the air channel guide to give more clearance. Just something to check next time you're in the area!

Mine did exactly the same. Ive been meaning to put a post up like yours for a while to warn others but never got around to it!! New hose isnt silly money either.

Blimey, I was thinking I was the only person to have that problem!
