where do these hoses go?

I know 2 of the 3 are for the heater, which is currently bypassed, but where does the 3rd one go?

Both the Haynes and Clymer manuals don't have a clear picture of the cooling system other than it enters and exits the engine on the front portion.

2003z,

I'm not certain how all the coolant ports/passages work together. But if I understand what you're saying, I don't think you want to block off or eliminate coolant running through the aluminum head.

Consider rotating the rear elbow 180 degrees to allow coolant to run through this circuit.

Good luck with your car.

Let me know if you get it. I ordered one about three weeks ago, and they told me it was a good number, but I never got it. Was told that the warehouse that was supposed to have it/them couldn't find it.

Arne, just got a call from the Dealer and they now claim the pipe is NLA. I don't imagine a replacement from the salvage yard will be in any better condition than the one I have.

(Plan - I'm going to try and find some steel-tube and bend one myself then weld on the clamp.

I had a good one, just had some surface rust on it, so I cleaned and painted mine. Wouldn't be too hard to make, if you have access to a bender for pipes that small.
