whats up guys, one of my radiator hoses broke last week. sprung a leak!! i ordered one off of advance auto parts website. i thought it was the upper radiator hose, but when i got it, it doesnt look anything like the one i took off the car. it comes off of the thermostat, and into the motor. its about 8-10 inches long. and each end has a different diameter. i think i may have ordered the wrong part, but i dont know what it is called if its not the upper radiator hose. any ideas?? any help would be appreciated. thanks!! PM me with any info. and oh, its the VR6

 

I have a 2000 VR6. The hose you're talking about is the lower radiator hose. Goes from the thermostat to the radiator, right? only other hose I could think it would be is the heater core hose, but I'm sure its the lower hose.

 

no this actually goes from the thermostat to the engine i believe. its right on the top right side of the motor. i had to take out the battery and air filter to get to it good..

 

Well I looked around and I'm not sure what it's called. I didn't see any hose for coolant running underneath my battery.
