Well the plastic cooling system components let me down. I thought I had changed all the components out, but I missed one and it failed.

Now have to replace a cooling line, not sure how much issue this will be but hoping it is an easy fix. Have change the failed elbow in top hose however a broken line coming from the elbow also needs replacement.

The failure happen whilst towing my van , up a very steep mountain pass. Temp gauge did not move of normal, but I was alerted by the big red triangle of doom and pulled up . Coolant had sprayed over the engine, heaps of steam emitted.

I made temp repairs and now have to replace a coolant pipe, nit sure what the pipe is for or where it goes too.
