Hola,
I have a slight coolant leak... well, it's slight now that it's temporarily held at bay with RTV.
I found the part I want: 211-501-0125. Shockingly for almost $300 less than the dealership quoted. What I cannot seem to find is the clip that holds this socket in place. It connects the recovery/expansion coolant tank to the upper radiator hose. I'm currently using wires so I don't know what they look like.
That coolant breather pipe comes with the clip, which you push down once you've inserted it in place. I changed mine late last year. I paid $140 at the local dealer, I just checked and ECS Tuning has it for $40.57.
Thanks LasCondes and Noodles. $31 sounds vunderbar. I found one on ebay but the seller said it "comes as shown in the picture. thanks." Of course the picture is low-res and if weren't for the part no. I wouldn't be sure if was the right one.
Thanks again... I'll make the plunge and hopefully the clips are in the box.
What happened to your clips? I do have one clip, pictured above, I could send you. Dealer sold me pipe with one clip, so I do have that one. Let me know.
I got the car used so there are a few quirks The end heading into the upper hose is held in by a wire... the other end is an actual clip. I just went out to look. It looked similar to the wire (bent) and I didn't realize that's what they actually look like. So apparently I only need one. What can I send you in return?? I suppose PM me and we can figure it out from there. Tons of thanks!
