Sentra Heater Hose

**Mr.D** · July 28th, 2009 04:24 PM

hi tsikoteers..

i just changed my radiator and thermostat, and now have my system checked for leaks. unfortunately, there are some. one is the bypass hose and the other one is the heater hose. the problem is i cannot find a replacement for the heater hose. its a funny looking crooked hose. anyone know a store that has one? at least sana malapit sa mandaluyong or quezon city. also, is ok if we have it replaced by a regular radiator hose?

thanks.

Have an auto supply fashion one for you bro. Just bring your old hose sa auto supply, heck they can copy almost any car's radiator hose. Mura na part lang naman yan bro.

ah.. talaga? saan ba ung auto supply na yan? i have ask most of auto supply sa kalentong wala sila. nag-tanong ako sa casa 2,200 oh no.. tapos wala pa stock.. help naman. pwd kaya ung regular na radiator hose? not actually shaped as the original one?

You can go to Nissan Makati for that, AFAIK. The ones along Pasong Tamo.

I went to Universal Motors (Anthony P. Lee Center) and their genuine parts are cheaper than in all other Nissan dealers and even cheaper than Banawe.

Plus they stock all the hard to find bits.

Not sure about your Sentra though as it is manufactured by NMPI (not by UMC) but you could ask the dealer where the parts warehouse is.

For a heater hose, anything shaped like it will do. It basically flows coolant so any radiator hose (or stronger) will work in that application.

i see. i think palagyan ko muna ng any radiator hose. since pwede naman pala. but then i'll still look for the same type item. update ko to later. salamat.

Along Commonwealth Ave, (QC), may store dun halos katabi ng Capitol Auto Supply (tapat ng St. Peter's Parish). They sell all sorts of automotive and industrial hoses. Sila na rin magkakabit. Sorry, can't remember the name, pero it's quite easy to find.

Don't laugh now, pero Goodyear yata yung brand. Bought my replacement power steering return hose before for my old Sentra in 2005, no leaks pa din till now, sabi ng barkada ko (new owner).

thanks galactus, otep and mazingerz for your quick replies. i will look for those store and will post here kung saan ako makakahanap. sabi nga nung isang store na napagtanungan ko, marami daw talaga naghahanap ng hose na yun sa kanila. so hopefully may makita akong replacement.

What others do as well is to just find a hose to bypass the heater hose since its not really utilized over here.

gud pm sir.wla kang makikita sa auto supply ng hose na yan kundi sa casa lng.sa mantrade meron yan.nasa likod kc yan e,kya dapat original ang ikabit mo.hirap kc tangalin and ibalik yan.mura lng dun about 500.kung d original na hose ung ikabit mo madali masira.kc mainit ung dumadaloy jn e.

tama ka. hirap talaga maghanap ng ganung hose. marami na ako napagtanungan. for the meantime, ginawan muna ng paraan ng mekaniko, nilagyan nya ng replacement radiator hose pero straight lang yun, binaloktot lang para makadaan ung hose. ok ba ung solusyon na yun?

anyway, tingnan ko sa mantrade. kung may makuha ako. thanks sa info.
