My name is josh and i bought a 1992 eagle talon tsi, awd. it has a 2.0 liter in-line 4 cylinder turbocharged engine with about 120,000 miles on it and i had been driving it all fall and it seemed like not a week would go by where i wouldnt be driving and all of a sudden smoke would pour from my hood. i open the hood and to my surprise another coolant line blew. i had replaced every single coolant line in the car a week after i bought it and since then i have had to repair the lines over a dozen times. What is going on??? What am i doing wrong??? I know i am hooking the lines up correctly and the hose clamps are tightened to specs. is there a different type of hose i should be using instead of just a regular braided heater hose? Any input would be so so so greatly appreciated. i just cant figure this one out. thanks again!!!

Try using concentrate antifreze with no water and replace your thermastat with a low-temp 180 degree thermostat.
