If you have an 05, then that's a Recall item. If you have an 03/04, then it's not a common issue.

Is there a recall for the coolant hose? Where can I see a list of all recalls for 05 Evos? Well, before anyone answers let me do a search first.

By the way, what would be a normal temp. for an Evo? My temperature's niddle reads just below the middle, at about the water drawing on the temp. sign. Just curious to see if that is normal.

Hah, funny that you ask me that question. Just do a search for threads started by me with the term TSB in them. I have the coolant hose RECALL in there (yes, recall, not just a TSB - only certain 05s are affected).
