water inlet tube went bad
#1
how many had water inlet tube cracked where plastic welded in 1 piece?

it is not clever design at all, i used water tight sealing tape for emergency use and ended up buying at dealer for $45..
this is what i m talking about..

ahh~i thought i m the unlucky one but damn, stuck for 3 hrs is not fun at all..

my hood is all cut up, so i could find out earlier, i could smell coolant and actually saw white smoke coming out..

should we blame ford or shitty toronto road..

i blame ford lol, i live to far north to blame Toronto. with mine i was driving down the road and white smoke started rolling out of the hood. at first i thought i blow the rad out of it, but after checking out everything i seen the crack, the worst part the ford dealer here didn't have one so i had to get my brother to drive to Barrie and get me one.

A nice billet replacement would probably sell well ... or is there an aftermarket solution already?
