Just had my coolant dumped onto the road while i was driving, from a broken plastic fitting on the engine side of the lower heater hose. I've done a bit of searching here and just want to confirm that it looks like its time for a new thermostat housing?
The car is a RHD 1.4 petrol, lower heater hose from the firewall on the passenger (left side when sitting in the car)
Had to pay a fortune for a tow (I was nearly 100km from home) and just did an oil, filter & coolant change last week (there goes all my fresh coolant.. ) so if I can at least know whats needed and source the parts before a tow to the mechanics to keep costs down a bit...
I've attached an ordinary pic from my phone in the dark, but I am holding up the hose, and you can see into the hole on the lower right. The pic has loaded on its side, needs to be rotated anti clockwise so my thumb is at the top and hole at the bottom
any help much appreciated!
