[s-cars] How hard is it to replace the turbo coolant return line, any BTDT?

[Douglas Landaeta]

Agreed. just BTDT with the SJM part. I looked about - Napa, etc. but chose
to wait for the right part because it's not a fun job to do twice. Old hose
needed to be cut from the pipe due to petrification. The failure ocurred
right after replacing the thermostat housing and hose - probably pushed on
it just enough to cause the failure.
