So the aluminum coolant pipe that the rubber hose is connected to blew out. Looks as if the epoxy failed? So I did some reading and was wondering if the 2011's have the aluminum hose in the valley and if they also have the upgrades threaded hose barb off the water distributor in the back? I just want to know if I need to have all of it replaced and upgraded or if this year already has it and I just had a freak accident with the one up front. It was crazy because we were in traffic going up big bear mountain at a1-4 mph crawl for like 3 hrs and when we finally were able to go it just let loose. I did not let the engine get hot. I **** it off immediatly. Any input would be awesome.

 

So this exact same issue just happened to my 2011 S. Stevok, how was the issue resolved for you? My car is currently sitting at the dealer after being flatbedded there.

 

It appears this is a shared problem with other P-Cars:

Their solution is to drill a hole through the part the tube fits into as well a hole into the tube and thread a bolt through the two holes to secure the tube.

 

This is what lies under the manifold. What you would be looking at replacing would be the plastic y pipe, tstat, and pump. I just did mine.

 

Btw the procedure for that coolant pipe replacement in the back of the engine calls to have the motor and transmission dropped. So be prepared for that bill. I personally would just pull the manifold, clean out the old glue and epoxy it again. I felt like I could have taken the whole thing out without removing the powertrain. This is bc I have the proper tools to do something like this.
