Cracked Hose.

Nevelon · 08-22-2009, 01:20 PM

This happened yesterday. It cracked while I was driving. A buzzer went off so I pulled into a parking lot. Antifreeze was going everywhere. The car won't even start now. I had to get it towed to get it home.

Earlier today, I stopped at to two auto stores and they told me that they did not have the hose I needed and that they were unable to order them. They also told me that it would be hard to find because its a pre-bent hose.

All the hoses I have found are the two that come off of the radiator. The real bizarre part is that my Haynes repair manual dose not even mention the hose I need.

I don't live near a Mazda dealer. If I call one up, do you think they would send me one, or do I have to make a trip out there?

Thanks for the quick responses. I will check out atkinsrotary.com. I don't about the universal hose. Both stores told me that I should find the actual hose because of the bends.

If you want an exact replacement, it has to come from a Mazda dealer.
Generic auto parts stores do not carry this part.
You can rig it with generic heater hose...

No, Mazda dealers, in general, do not ship parts out to your door.

There are a couple of dealers that you can call and have the part shipped to you. One in particulare is Trussville Mazda in Birmingham, AL (800) 633-8285. Another is Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda in Woodbridge, VA. Look up their phone number on the web.

Also try Mazdatrix.com. They may have it also.
