Very helpful but which 9-3 engine is this, please?

[@andrewrouch1282]

Hi Brian, this is the 2.0 B207L

@@andrewrouch1282 Great - thank you!

Nice,are both hoses similar..? cant find the shorter one. thinking to cut one of the hoses to fit ,hopefully same diameter.

[@andrewrouch1282]

I purchased them from proparts in Sweden proparts.se and they have two part numbers in their catalog which I think are the ones

Thank you for the great video and information, were you seeing white smoke coming from near turbo due to coolant leaking?

[@andrewrouch1282]

Hi Adam, no, all I saw was the coolant puddle underneath the car, the leak was a split close to the firewall.

How did you not have any fluid in those hoses? I drained the fluid from the radiator and still had a lot of fluid in those hoses

[@andrewrouch1282]

Hi Bartoss, the leak was from those hoses so there was no fluid left in them from memory.

[@DiggingNorway]

Did you experience no warm air in tha cabin prior to changing the hoses?

[@andrewrouch1282]

Not really, I had a coolant leak and traced it to one of the two heater hoses so decided to replace both at the same time.
