Re: Coolant line between engine on v6

Coolant line between engine on v6

I’ve got a split in the coolant pipe that runs between the “v” part of the engine.. currently left at the side of the road as not holding temperature so I haven’t been able to take it all apart to check.

Does Anyone know the thickness of this rubber pipe and where I can get a replacement ??
