what is this unattached  rubber hose???
« on: 07 March 2008, 21:14:00 »

i was looking under the bonnet this afternoon when i see this unattached rubber hose. it was just at the back of the plenum. i started the engine and left it for 15 mins then had a look, nothing came out of it, under the car i could see water dripping off the gearbox.  and my expansion tank has lost about 3/4 of its water.could this be related to the unattached hose.
