on my 93 firebird lt1, the heater hose has a bleeder valve before the water pump to pressure the cooling system. well my luck ran out and a pin hole streem of water was going into my intake! well to make a short story long, i need a new heater hose. but im told you still need a bleader valve on the heater hose. they dont sell 3 way valves like that in any auto part stores around where i live, and the last thing i want to do is take it to the dealership... i understand that the existing hose is stock, and i want to keep it as stock as possible, no jerry rigging here lol. got any ideas?


well now i know that the heater hoses come as one peice. and its 250$$ for just the part. id realy like another method.

 

What developed the leak? If it was the hose, you should be able to replace the hose and use the existing valve. If you need a new valve, there's GOT to be someone online selling one online. Or one at a junkyard.

 

This isn't the best place for 4th generation car answers, as we are a 3rd generation site (1982 - 1992). Might want to inquire on a 4th gen forum.
