Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
considering how brittle the plastic connector becomes (see pic of shattered connector) over time it�s highly likely the connector is cracked.
Leading evidence: 'connector is cracked' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'connector is cracked' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I have coolant weeping from a plastic part and associated hoses I'd like to replace. I searched the forum as well as PET but I'm unable to identify the parts to get part numbers. I think the top hose is deteriorating but I'd like to just replace them all. Car is an 04 C4S if that matters. I did put some electrical tape and a small tie wrap around the upper portion of the hose as a temp fix. The hose in question is the one with the red tie wrap and the plastic part is the support bracket directly below that. First pic is for orientation as the hose is just to the left of the intake and it loops over the oil filler tube. Second pic shows a closer view. TIA
this is your part. Do yourself a favor and do not buy the $5 part. Get the steel aftermarket part. There�s also aluminum ones out there too.
Available elsewhere for less
Very cheap part.
You want these parts: #13 (99610622451),18 (

) and 20(
99610622352
) Number 18, the connector also has some aftermarket aluminum or stainless options out there.

considering how brittle the plastic connector becomes (see pic of shattered connector) over time it�s highly likely the connector is cracked. Probably not a hose issue. If that connector goes coolant will totally drain in seconds. Highly recommend to park the car until the connector is replaced. Be prepared to lose a lot of coolant when replacing. And it will spray all over due to the pressure. Oh, and be prepared for the connector to break apart and leave the male parts behind in the hose. It�s a pain to get the pieces out. But It�s good you isolated the leak! Inexpensive diy project to prevent catastrophe.
Thanks guys! While the metal part is kinda spendy I think that is the route I'll take. Haven't been on Rennlist for some time and its good to know the knowledge and help is still here!
