  • Photo of issue: Top radiator hose in close contact with alternator pulleyhigh severityresolvedTop radiator hose in close contact with alternator pulley106,000 miView issue

    Due to the front end collision on the vehicle, the rad is pushed back enough that the top hose is being chewed up by the alternator pulley. This requires cutting out the damaged metal and replacing it.

      Turns out the car had a turbo timer installed and in order to get it to power off. The car needs to be put in first gear with the key in the off position to turn off.
