Cracked Hose.

This happened yesterday. It cracked while I was driving. A buzzer went off so I pulled into a parking lot. Antifreeze was going everywhere. The car won't even start now. I had to get it towed to get it home.

Earlier today, I stopped at to two auto stores and they told me that they did not have the hose I needed and that they were unable to order them. They also told me that it would be hard to find because its a pre-bent hose.

All the hoses I have found are the two that come off of the radiator. The real bizarre part is that my Haynes repair manual dose not even mention the hose I need.

I don't live near a Mazda dealer. If I call one up, do you think they would send me one, or do I have to make a trip out there?

Thanks for the quick responses. I will check out atkinsrotary.com. I don't about the universal hose. Both stores told me that I should find the actual hose because of the bends.
