Hi Guys,
Need some advice for my BMW 318iSE e46 please. Seems like i've got coolant spraying/leaking from the connection between hoses. Its when the engine is running and its where the hard plastic hose which has the bleed screw comes forward and connects to (fits over) a tube/hose/pipe at the front of the engine bay, which I think is part of the radiator there.
I've tried to just push it back on but it sits on but cant be forced all the way by hand. The question is how do i fix this problem? Is there some way/tip to push the connection back together? Can I do it myself or do i need a mechanic? Will a part need replacing? Should i be worried about the integrity of any lining or rubber bits inside the hard hose?
I've already been through 2 lots of coolant to get the car home! All advice is much appreciated
Thanks
