ABS Upgrade (non-NSX), Health Check 05

Rate this Entry











Oil cooler hose

Looked like many of the coolant hoses were replaced in the past.
However, this one at the oil cooler doesn't look healthy.
Being overstressed and using cheap jubilee clip and not the high-end one.
EPDM hose will take set in the shape of jubilee clip, this type of clip can't alter its binding force once installed and due to the difference in thermal expansion/contraction rate between metal pipe, rubber, metal clip, sooner or later, it will start leaking.
For OEM hose, please use OEM style hose band.
For now, it's OK but please address it some point in the future but you will need to drain the coolant first.





There were other items in the Health Check report but I'll leave them as I want to focus on the ABS Upgrade so just the usual photo comments.
