First breakdown! 156 v6
Discussion
Today had my first breakdown in the form of a split heater/hose in the engine bay. The AA man said it was the heater hose.
If you look down between where the inlet pipe goes in to the back of the engine and the power steering bottle you will see two rubber pipes (one above another). Mine is the lower one that has split, it's about 4inch long and connects a metal pipe (that runs roung the back of the engine) to what looks like the waterpump/thermostat.
Has anyone got a part number or know if it has a specific name? Gonna do an online search for a decent price, no doubt Alfa want fortunes!
Also is it worth doing them all as i would imagine the rubber will be tired on the other pipes aswel?
The cars a 156 V6 year 2000 with 125k on the clock.
Ps does anyone have experience with Turin Motors in Leeds?
Thanks!
