Coolant hose clamp

[Thinice7]

after noticing the coolant leak some have been talking about I decided to check mine over also. Mine was loose but it was from over tightening. I was able to turn the clamp freely so that I could reach it with a 1/4 inch bit. When I went to tighten it the worm screw would just spin so I removed it and installed a new one in its place. After finding that I checked ever clamp I could find but all the rest where tight and un damaged. Just thought I would post this in case mine isn't the only on out there

Yea those clamps they have on there are total junk. A friends 1100 cat turbo had the same problem. Dealer replaced it with a regular automotive hose clamp. 200% better.

That's the same thing I did. Now I'm wondering if I should just do them all for piece of mind

Which Hose Clamp are you referring to? Perhaps I will check them all as well. MPI is hopefully going to be installed soon (as soon as it gets to the dealer)...

It's the one that runs between the fill spout and the thermostat. There's another thread on here with pictures. Same spot as the other guys just mine the clamp was damaged
