I put the VMP 3 pass intercooler on my 13 GT500. I have been adding a small amount of coolant to the system since installation. I attributed this to purging. Today it informed me it was not purging.
I traced the leak to the lower hose attached to the pump. Moving the hose increased the leakage.
I pulled the hose and other than being not the highest quality hose and me using the spring hose clamp, I could find no defects on the hose.
After pulling the end of the pump and checking for a cracked nipple, I found no cracks or holes.
I did sleeve the hose to prevent it from kinking as it turns toward the bottom of the heat exchanger.
I hope a new, better hose with a no kink sleeve will resolve things. And trashing that factory hose clamp.
Anyone else have issues like this?
