Its available from the major aftermarket hose suppliers.....
    You have been warned!!

    Hi Zypper I got mine in time before any damage was done , I had a roll of soft copper , so replaced the plastic pipe with that , better then ome . So check that hose at the radiator end ,under the cowl to see that It hasn't baked hard ..

    X2, one less worry. Also, I removed the turbo heat shield, & all plastic engine covers. Gives the advantage you can eyeball the engine at service time, check tension on the exhaust manifold, & check secret hose if necessary. Any leaks are easier to find. Done about 5,000 km's since doing it, no problems. Bob

    The question must be asked, did you have an engine saver low water alarm? Bob
