Howdy all,
A really quick (urgent) one here..
Pulled up at home tonight, switched off the engine and heard a big gushing sound from the engine bay. I've had one rad go on me before (got replaced) and started having nightmares about the cost for this trip..
Turns out it's probably not so bad, it's the main hose that runs from the radiatior to the top of the engine - has an inch long split in it about 6 inches back from the engine.
I assume the hose itself is pretty cheap ($30-50) but does anyone know how long it would take to replace and flush/refill the coolant etc? I just need to work out how much it will cost - aiming to get it urgently done tomorrow early am... need to get wifey to hospital by 11am!! Gahhhh what timing. I'm not confident doing this work personally, would rather get someone in to do it.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
