9000 86 oil cooler hose fitting repair replacement

Mar 02, 2007 2 Replies

Oil line hose connector going to top of oil cooler that is attached to passenger side of radiator leaks like a sieve... No longer available at dealer. How can I repair to stop oil leaking down hose and on to driveway? Any one have any ideas, please? TIA.

I replaced the leaky oil cooler lines on my C900 with ordinary reinforced hose and clamps. these lines don't run at a very high pressure and reinforced hose-the kind that you can see a fabric in the cut end-works fine. Phil Brown

I received an email from Mike that my solution wouldn't work on his

9000. The 900s have a short metal pipe that the hose us crimped onto. I just cut it off and clamped a new hose on. Perhaps 9000 hoses are made the same. Perhaps not. I've never owned a 9000. Phil Brown
