the radiator hose busted on my way home today, and it currently needs replacing (some samaritan rigged something up to get me the rest of the way - dont ask). i was going to take it to the shop, but is it easy to do myself and is the part cheap ?

 

the part is about $10-15 at a parts store, and a hose is one of the easiest things you can replace. you'll need a phillips screwdriver (or 10mm nut driver), a jug of antifreeze, the new hose, and about 15 minutes.


FYI, the color of your car is Black Emerald. I loved that color... that's what my old GXE was.

 

awesome - i'll try it and respond, hopefully quickly! yes, it looks like mine is Black Emerald. Would that my car looked as good as yours! I'll try and post a pic of it soon.

 

i don't think i've seen that color on a 3rd gen before, looks good!
