Default Problem!

this is the second time the back coolant house blows off because of the heat, do you guys know if there is a house made of a better and more resistant material to heat than the oem that is sell?

If you blowing hoses I would look at why you are getting so much pressure. OEM hoses should handle normal coolant system pressure. Also check your reservoir cap as that should be the weakest link and let off pressure before a hose blows.

Could be a bad head gasket that is letting exhaust gas into the coolant and it can't get to the reservoir before it blows the hose.
