Cold Temps Cracking Plastic

[tireman]

Darn, started the car this morning and the upper radiator hose plastic cracked right where the compression fitting is above the thermostat housing. An easy fix but way costly $200! Sorry Max, I needed it right way, this is my daily driver.
Watch out for those cold temps this week.

when it beeps and says low fuel level, dont need to punch the fuel button to reset it. lightly pressing the button works just as well

JB Weld will fix that right up Nv. Had that happen to mine a few months ago too.

My car is frozen to the ground right now. It is so cold I don't want to go outside and dig it out if I don't have to. It got to -22 with no wind chill here. Of course for the Canucks on this forum I know -22 is nothing.

Mine did it in the summer, so don't feel too bad. And I pressed the button lightly too. Sh*t happens :shifty:

i used epoxy when mine broke, i may not have hit it so lightly though. the trac cont button, now thats a different story, i went to shut it off one day and saw that there was just a hole and the button fell through cheap ass plastic

Same thing happened to me in middle of El Paso Summer, just a weak point I guess. Super Glue or any other apoxy will do.
