Coolant problem
Millennium Falcon replied to etienne's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
My first post! 2000 Millennium Edition, 88K miles. I broken this same part in a Home Depot parking lot yesterday, bought the EXACT same brass connector, but could not fit it because of the plastic piece lodged inside the lower hose, and that sturdy bracer holding it all in place. I was able to get the plastic out of the top hose by breaking it up and pulling out with the nose-needle pliers, but I as afraid that doing the same to the lower piece would send disintegrated plastic into the cooling system. So I went back, and found some bathroom larger plumbing hoses that fit around the existing hoses; made my way home 100 miles away, but now I need to fix it properly. I have the right tools at home and can do either install - thoughts? Wondering if the brass will eventually hurt the hoses. The fun part - I broke it by trying to remove a squirrel's nest from the engine,will post pictures later. Any thoughts are appreciated, will get to it next weekend. -
