Smoke under the bonnet??

I got new turbo coolant hoses from Mazda. the right ones and only a few quid, had to order, what made it easy and so much sense was that the rebuild was going on, (turbos off) must say the 12 year old ones were a bit grotty, also found it benificial to clean the crud off the tubes with sandpaper taking care not get any bits on the inside of the tubes of course, get a bit of peace of mind having done that, there are also some small tubes over the spark plug area, i think to throttle body i plan to do next,

yes..i remember when i did the rats nest job. When i came to put the uim back,i had a problem with a short coolant hose  by the oil filter..it is so short (4") and has to bend 90degrees.i found that  the hose i bought from the motor shop would not bend so sharp without kinking, so i got round this problem by cutting this new hose 3 times longer and looping it back on itself rarther than bend it at 90degrees. Your best off getting the proper hose from mazda.
