    Hey guys, my car been down for some time an I need to find a heater hose that's in a shape of a v or U that's 1/2"! the hose leaked all my radiator fluid so I can't really take it to a shop but I can hardly get my hand to where the hose is an I took it out an finding a replacement is hard. :byodood

    A temporary fix so you can get it to a shop is to bypass the heater all together

    Take the heater hose connected to the water outlet and disconnect it at the firewall where it connects to the shut off valve
    and re connect that end to the end of the water by-pass pipe after you have disconnected its hose. Your going to kink the
    hose but you don't need coolant flowing threw it anyways you just need it to seal the cooling system. Refill your cooling system
    and you should be good to go.
