Replaced 2 other upper coolant hoses on other Zeds that similarly failed and hosed down the PTU and wiring.

We relocated the PTU's as well on each car after fixing the coolant hoses.

It's in the hottest part of the engine bay (aside from the turbos) the wiring and connectors are destroyed by the heat. But the biggest fail is that it is mounted next to the two main rubber connectors for the radiator... both of which can spring pinhole leaks and make a fucking mess. It's not a safe dry spot. It's a boneheaded place to put an electronic power transistor unit. The nose panel area has many dry places, and if you're really concerned, bag the motherfucker.


PS: you get the camber plates?

Cheers,
