upper radiator hose blew on me, hopefully I was 2 street away from my destination (it didn't overheat). fixed it, filled it with coolant, couldn't burp properly where I was (drove it home, ~5 min drive). in that 5 min drive, the BOV (bosch generic) was not making the usual "WOOOSH" (releasing all at once) but more like a hks (sequential BOV sound) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGpv5g41TIY something like this)

now I am clueless, coolant doesn't have anything to do with the BOV or intake system at all. now that I burped it properly (although there's still air in my heatercore), I took the car for a drive and it's back to the usual WOOOSH.

what the hell 7m?

Better question would be "Why?" did the hose "blow"....

Could be from being extremely old? but then yet again idk how much pressure goes through the radiator hose.

In my Own Experience, my turbo's coolant hoses were original.. a week after the rebuild i blew one... Lost a gallon of coolant but didn't overheat. The hose split diagonally in two like if was cut with a knife. Replaced & no blown hose yet. :naughty:

Should be 13psi in the cooling system. Its what the stock rad cap is rated for.

Hoses are cheap from rock auto. Some are easier to do while the engine is out as well.

old hose that was a bit loose on my new mishimoto rad. used a clamp that was to strong and it ripped the hose when the system was under pressure.

but why does my BOV made weird noise in that 5 min? I liked how she sound (30$ bov turning into a 200$ ssqv :D)
