Hey guys I just had a coolant line blow on me behind the engine. It's near the drivers side and it looks like it's going under or into the blower as a rubber line then goes into a hard plastic elbow and goes along the fake firewall and then curves into it and goes into another rubber line which goes near the brake master and looks like it's going into the cabin.. does anyone know what this line goes to so the parts dept can source it? Thanks!

I guess it's a really common failing point on the 220 my tech knew what it was before I told him. It's a hard plastic line that goes from one to three lines at the prewall.

Well this was the culprit!! I guess these are all known to break on the 220's which doing some research that's definitely correct!! $7 piece of plastic!! Paid my guy $100 to come up to the house after work and install it and it did not look fun!! The guys on the board said all the wipers and motor had to come out but he got it done without taking too much out.. I feel good knowing it's done! All I did was a quick 6500 rpm pull and it gave up!!

Evans coolant = zero pressure cooling system......no blown hoses.

But with the IC pump and all the lines how on earth do you get all the water out?

Drain the rad, remove block drains on each side.....install prep fluid, run car, drain prep fluid and add Evans....
