Hello all!
New to the site and everything but I figured this would be the best place for support.
So I accelerated pretty aggressively, no redline, about 5-6k rpm and some coolant shot into the cabin by the pedals and my engine started overheating within minutes.
I got off the road and found that the hose entering the firewall was ripped and spraying steam/ coolant all over the engine bay (above the engine, mid passenger side by the firewall). I cleaned it up with some shop rags and noticed that all my coolant had leaked leaving a puddle near the radiator as well. My antifreeze reservoir was completely empty.
Does it sound like the hoses just blew? I can replace those just fine but I wanted to know if you guys had any thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks a lot in advance! And I apologize for my ignorance in mustangs/ cars in general. I'm here to learn
Will post pictures tomorrow. This happened at night.
