In June of 2019, I noticed that I wasn’t getting any turbo boost at high rpm’s. I checked the coolant reservoir tank and noticed it was extremely low. Filled it with coolant and the turbo started working again. Fast forward to November 2019, I am notified by a tech that was changing my oil at a small shop, that one of the heater hoses is leaking coolant. I was quoted between $400 and $700 to replace the coolant hose.
I decided to do it myself. The part was about $50 from the dealer and it took me and my wife’s small hands about 4 hours to replace it. The way the ST’s engine bay is so cramped doesn’t help. I later discovered that it is much easier to first remove the battery and battery tray, as well as the intake assembly in order to access the entirety of the heater hose.
