water line

[pnoy]

I'm using C2's recommendation for water line which is:
- Use existing U-bent hose, then cut in half.
- Plug each side with an adaptor an hose covered with some braided metal which comes with it.

Now, the problem is that my coolant reservoir keeps getting low and I'm suspecting that it could be the whole water line where the adaptor is in place. But I'm not totally sure.

Anyway, any other recommendation for this? I am tempted to use a whole other hose line back there but I don't know what the size is.

Note:
- Yes I've done the proper coolant change procedure from the STICKY.

Temporarily bypass it and re-link the connection without the turbo lines. That should help you isolate where the problem is by removing the turbo water lines from the equation.

i just bypassed the TB itself. so instead of going to the TB, the hoses went to the turbo

I'm assuming this is a Garrett GT series centersection.
They wont use-up/burn-off engine coolant.

If theres no obvious leak from the hose and its connections then its not the turbo thats eating the coolant.
