I changed some hoses on my 86 Syncro this past weekend.  One hose was
packed with a substance that looks just like sand, it could be sand
but I fail to understand how that would enter the cooling system.
Scary if it is.

The hose in question is directly to the left of the vacuum control box
mounted on the left rear side of the engine.  The hose was connected
to the metal pipe that spans the perimeter of the engine compartment
and to a curved plastic piece that has two other hoses attached on
either side.

Anyone have similar problems?  Could this be corrosion?
