Default Oem upper radiator hose dirty
My upper radiator hose on my 2008 350z is swollen so i got a used oem off ebay for 20 bucks but theres tons of white flakey stuff inside the hose and I tried soaking in hot water and dawn didn't work. Any ideas how to get this out? Thanks in advance

Maybe boil it for 5 minutes then use a rag or bottle brush on it. Gl!

I know exactly what you are talking about. I cleaned something the other day exactly like that. Aerosol glass cleaner worked perfect.

A *used* radiator hose?

Just looked at fleabay.... they DO sell "pre-owned" hoses! And for $7.50 more, a brand new one from Nissan. Hmmmm....
