    Default Top hose and thermastat housing question.

    Ok guys i have a question for you all.

    On the VR 3.8 the thermastat has a little knob where the hose goes (red arrow)

    Excause the bad quality phone pic'.



    Does the hose go over it up against the bleed valve with the clamp near the end (against bleed valve) or is it ment to be like i have it.

    I had the hose against bleed valve and clamp on left of valve, started to leak from bottom of hose so pulled it back and set it where it is but doesn't seem right.

    Hoses and radiator only couple months old.

    Can some of you show me where you have your hose.

    cheeRS
    guys.

    The raised part is to indicate where the end of the hose should be. You have it perfect.
