Sup guys, I went away for a month for some military training, come to find out that my girlfriend didnt start my car at all since i was away and had a small list of problems most of i was able to fix, battery and tune..
But one of the problems I had was throwing a P1299 code, I saw I was low on coolant so I added almost a gallon, after troubleshooting and reading the forums I thought it was the degas bottle, But I didnt see any leaking coming from it and when I took the cap off and put it on there is pressure, so i dont thank thats the problem. I then looked at the thermostat and was squeezing the hoses to see if it was opening, and noticed a very small pin leak on the pvc high pressure hose that connects to the radiator and the thermostat, I went to autozone and they dont know jack about the part so i figure some one here might. Heres some pictures posted of the pipe i need if any one knows the part number or where to get it i would appreciate the input, Thanks

It's the upper radiator hose. I got it locally and paid too much (~$85) as Team Ford has it for under $50. I just couldn't wait the 3 or 4 days for delivery.


BTW, THANKS for your service!

Max (see ad to the right) can sell you that hose, but it's not all the you need. You will also need the two halves of the thermostat housing, the lower radiator hose, and the degas bottle. When one plastic cooling system part goes, it means the rest are really close behind it.
 
Thanks a lot guy's i appreciate the input. I figure that the rest is probably behind it, but for now i'm gonna have to replace just the hose until more funds are more available, tires, brakes and my dccv are my priority after this hose is fixed ><
 
This might be a dumb question, but do you think that i should flush the entire coolant system?
