i was at the track running a sti the other nite and out of nowhere i start to smell coolint and notice my car is all the way on h check the line the throtle body coolant line was split weird

 

ya, not uncommon.

 

ya thought it was a lil weired i probally going to upgrade to after market hoses

 

it happens overtime with warn tubing and old tubing. I have had it happen a couple times. WOrse case scenario is if you have bad headgasket, that can also cause the coolant lines to burst or tear.

 

? bad head gasketwouldint the car over heat

 

Yah i had a leak from my throttle body as well. I just picked up some generic good year hose from Pepboys vs paying out the *** for dealer pre-formed hoses. I wanna say it was 3/8" but its been a really long time so ide verify that first. Replace the hose clamps too while you are at it. Also if your engine did get that hot, you should do a compression test to make sure you didnt warp the head and damage the headgasket.

 

good idea it drives normal and not everheating at all lol now you got me woried

 

Don't lose any sleep over it, if you dont have the tools i think most places will do the test for 50 bucks.

 

its not doing the test its hoping nothing is wrong lol

 

How close are you to needing a new timing belt? If the Headgasket is bad its not that much more work to have the head milled and install a new gasket while doing the timing belt. Also headstuds while you are at it.

 

the car only has 58xxx mile the timming belt was done like 7000 miles ago when being built

 

Don't get worked up over it. The hoses split/leak with age. There is zero reason to jump to the conclusion that you have a blown head gasket or need head studs or Obama is getting a third term or anything else. Fix the hose and move on with your life; if you actually experience any symptoms of an issue like over heating, ejecting coolant, alien landings, etc... then start considering more unusual scenarios.

 

lmao ^ your right

 

i called my friend that owns a shop he is going to do the compression test for free this way ill sleep better at night now lol

 

He already overheated when it happened. That is why i was suggesting the compression test for piece of mind. Aluminum heads have a tendency to warp when overheated.
