Default Broken Radiator Piece?
Recently hit something on the street and destroyed the hose and where the hose connects to. Is there a simple way to replace this without taking the entire radiator out?


The red is where the hose was hooked up. Ignore the mess I made out of it.



Hose starts here and is routes under the car to the bottom of the radiator

Ive never seen a hose from the intake manifold to the bottom of the radiator. Usually that hose would attach to the top of the radiator side tank.

Is yours set up differently?

Plastic side tanks and their fittings are not generally repaired.
