Coolant Hard Line

[gsr-mat]

Hi,
Found I have a leak on the coolant hard line which runs from the thermostat round the front of the engine (under exhaust manifold and behind turbo) to a small rubber hose which runs into the oil filter housing.
cc lancer and the 4g93t is a hard find in the wreckers, cant find much online. Thoughts on where to locate one of these?

Cheers

There was a guy in UK on the early evo owners club on Facebook who was getting new ones in from Malaysia, his name is waleed.

Otherwise I have a second one from an engine I dismantled but who knows if it is any better or worse than yours.

Thanks, will try and track him down. Yeah not sure how mine has been damaged but it does explain the coolant leak

Also, have you had a good look at where it’s leaking from? Because I had 2 of those rubber hoses that go to the oil filter cooler spring a leak. The old rubber is shit.

Cheers, yeah rubber replaced also...your right about the quality.

It was leaking near one of the brackets, however got it welded up...seemed the easiest thing to do. Lets see how it copes
