Default Hey Accord-ians- quick question-

I'd just washed my ride and cleaned the wax out of my windshield wiper nozzles- but when I went underneath the hood I noticed that the hose connected to the two nozzles seems to have cracked!

I did some searching online and the hose seems not to be too expensive but I have no idea where or how to reconnect it? Can anyone show me? Pics would be much appreciated

Thanks guys- btw, if ur wondering my car has almost 101,000 miles- should us high-mileage accord-ians have any other things to worry about (ive already done my timing belt).

just order a new tube through the dealer and go from there. i'm not too sure where the hose leads, but just trace it back to the source and it'll be easy enough to remove/replace.

101,000 miles uh? what year is the car? timing belt is always good, the water pump should be looked at soon too.

well my car is at the dealership today, and I'm getting rapped on a wheel bearing. How about your brakes, or clutch?

brakes ... you'll just hear it when it goes. theres an early wear indicator that just grinds against your rotor when it's starting to go. brakes are an extremely easy DIY.

how much are they charging for the bearing and service!? the part is expensive as hell though

They are charging me about $300 for that, so I've got a $600 bill to pay today which covers the 90,000 miles service....oh well at least I got my direct deposit toady.

I'm the smiliy guy:jlammy: the dealer is the big gun
