    Default cooling system

    The cooling system on my VS has a leak in one of the pipes every time I give it some to spin the wheels or just take it over 5.000rpm it sprays coolant onto the block making steam rise from underneath my bonnet

    Does anyone know how much it would cost me to get the cooling hoses redone?

    and flush the coolant at the same time then all you have to do is refill coolant wait for the car to heat up again then unscrew the screw on top of the thermostat housing to bleed the system keeping it topped up and once you have a continues flow
