I have a 1994 Camaro Z, and they are telling me the heater hose is 185. I dont know what the proper name is, but its the one that has the bleeder valve in it. Has anyone done a work around on it yet? Or know of a cheaper way go get one? I dont feel like blowing that kind of bank on some rubber.

 

Who did you call???

Once in catalog select the right year & model & do search on radiator hoses.

 

it is call the the heater return hose. and yes that is about right for the price if you call the dealership. they quoted me $195.00 for mine. that is ridicules for some heater hose. anyway if you could fine you a wreck low mileage z28 with those same hose then you could probly can get it cheaper. what year is your car. do you have the buy pass outlet. the metal pipe with the bleed screw and there is an outlet coming from the side of that pipe. or is it just that metal pipe with the bleed screw. if you have an 1995-1997 i have an used hose that i took off an wreck 1995 z28. the hose look good.i sell it to you for$25.00 plus shippng obo.i couldnt use it because i have that by outlet on mine 1993 z28. anyway if you are interested call me at 1-404-219-5687. oh yeah if you want some you could call trans am creation at 1-305-769-0985they have those heater return hose for like $131.00 plus 12.00 shipping and they are new.
