""" The hose was routed incorrectly AND missing the plastic
covering sheath, due to the #$*#!$@ mechanic not bothering or
something. """"

Just one thing about those plastic covering, the are as dangerous if to dry,
i have seen the end on one cutting a hose. So use with care.

Lately, if you have money, there is a "metal spring like" cover, same as for
the coolant line, it's just the right size, i have seen that on a van i
found it was pretty nice, sadly, i don't know where it came from. I will try
to trace back that customer and ask him where he got it. He told me it was
sold by 2 feets!

Anyway, i don't use the platic one anymore, i tie-rap the hose carefuly.
