Plastic for cooling sucks.

I haven't but my kid has, he's got an 06.

That sucks lol although I believe 2006 started the next generation (B6?) and I believe those are a bit simpler. There are about 10 coolant hoses in there for all the different coolers and such. This one happened to go behind the engine (sits north-south even though it's FWD) and there is NO room. I had to remove the tandem vacuum/fuel pump from the cylinder head along with like 4 other things just to get to the damn hose. Whole thing took about 10 days working a few hours a day. Told my parents I won't be doing repairs on that car anymore lol. Hopefully that car doesn't have any more issues for the next year or so while my brother uses it to get around then we're dumping it ASAP and getting an old Honda Civic or something.
