[W126 Coupe] radiator hose question

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Gary:

Then it's as simple as replacing that top hose.  Probably weak from 
age.  If you had replaced/disturbed the thermostat I'd have recommended 
you check the vent hole in the lip of the thermostat to be sure it was 
situated at the high point of the engine to vacate trapped air.
