If the hose required epoxy to repair, replace it!

I hear ya, but since it didn't go all the way through I'm not sure it's critical to get a new hose right now. The epoxy and tape is there more for reinforcement than a patch. But since it's a cheap part, when I get a chance I will stop by the dealership to get the replacement hose.

Might be fine now but as the car and hose ages there is a good chance it will weaken and possibly blow. Not worth the huge inconvenience.

When I was a young geek, one of my brand new computers I built wouldn't power on. I opened up the case and found that my hamster escaped and was living in the case... he did some redecorating with my power supply wires.

Good catch! Glad you got everything fixed
