NC Radiator hose chafe

Postby Sailor » Tue Dec 01, 2009 8:25 am

For those NC drivers here, This is a topic worth looking at.

After reading this I took a look at mine.
The hose IS rubbing on the body, and while at some point the dealer has fitted a soft rubber sleeve to try and protect the hose, this has now chafed through and the hose is being damaged.

Appears as thoght the cutout in the body and the radiator inlet pipe were not quite as well aligned as migh be expected.
I'll be looking tomorrow for a permanent fix.
