my old drippy hose back on and will send the mega leaky one to Spokane House of Hose. Hopefully it's not so far gone that they can't fix it.

just figured I'd share. sucks to get a temporary replacement only to find it's worse than your's and then go through $36 of Pentosin in < 1week =(

Default the purpose of this hose is so you dont have any down time while you send the hose to Spokane, not

to directly put it on your car

it doesn't matter how bad the hose is...all they do is re-use your ends. Good luck!

Default Any idea of what the turnaround time is from Spokane House of Hose?

And just to clarify, which one is the "J-hose"? Is it the one with the larger banjo fitting closer to the back of the pump with the loops at the steering rack end?

I am pretty sure that my leak is from that hose and it has gotten worse since I replaced my X-plug.

I need to get all my new suspension parts installed and the car aligned by next Friday so I can drive from ID to San Antonio, TX. I may have to go on ignoring the hose leak until I get back since this car is currently my daily driver.

Default Agree...

why would you take off the hose, put a used one on, send for repair, then do it all over again?

I am really sorry quattro.pilot if it is the one i sent you. It honestly was not leaking that bad when i removed it. Could it have gotten worse because of the way I had it bent in the box for shipment? I think I shipped it back in october, can't remember though.

As a side note, I never did hit you up for the shipping fees and of course I feel so bad that I wouldn't even think about it now.

Try to make sure I get your name for secret santa next year and I will hook you up ;-)

my bad... hate to see another owner suffer...
