It's a mess of hoses in there, eh Craigie? ... I think I'm still going to be lazy ... and cheap ;-)

Glad to hear it, KC!

Good to know. I’ll have to keep an eye on that one.

Thanks Fabian. I'm actually not sure what the part number is or even the size. When I have small hoses like this leak, I just take them to the parts store where they have bulk rolls of hose behind the counter. They just compare the sizes and then cut a piece whatever length I need. This hose might have been 3/8 inch inside diameter, and it ran $2 USD per foot. So I paid $2.10 after tax I think. ...Hope this helps.

Hey, thanks for the comment zoejay. I just did a little research on using pure distilled water, which, at first, I would have thought was fine, some say that distilled water is ionically imbalanced and therefore strips minerals from your engine to try to balance itself. It seems "softened" or "demineralized" water is best, but real coolant is better because it contains corrosion inhibitors, whereas water promotes corrosion. It does sound like your heater core has begun to leak. If you're flushing trying to flush it, using water should be fine, but it is a good idea (as you mentioned) to refill with coolant afterwards. Honda of course recommends Honda long-life antifreeze/coolant type 2. I personally just run any "long-life" coolant, the color doesn't matter. ... Sorry, but I can't do any flushes on the CRV any time soon because it's about 700 miles away from me at the moment. But I personally wouldn't do a flush, unless I had reason to believe something was getting plugged up. I'd just do a drain and refill. I have heard though, that a good way to flush the heater core is to unhook the coolant lines that go through the firewall, and hook up a hose to force water to run backward through the heater core. ... I sincerely hope for the best for you zoejay, but it sounds like you're probably going to have to replace the heater core, or maybe since it doesn't get cold there, you could just bypass it. You could probably unhook the coolant inlet and return hoses that go through the firewall, and just couple them together so they recirculate through the engine. You just wouldn't have heat anymore. Hope I've said something to help. Thanks again for the comment!

It was just generic coolant grade hose they sell by the foot at the parts store.

How many inches was it like how long was the hose ?

And how many foot

@@yasircicek2089 i’m sorry, I don’t remember. It was a while ago and it’s my daughters car which I don’t have access to right now. I just took the old hose in to see if they had a similar size.

That would be up to my daughter. I know she was wanting to sell it last year, but now she says it’s been so reliable she’s torn.

@@FamilyFriendlyDIY il from that place aswell, and if she does lmk how much
