That's holding it okay? I pushed mine on last night, what I thought was all the way in, and this morning after driving to work, it looked like I hadn't even touched it, appearing ready to fall off again. Is the hose just too short?I posted in the other thread but I did this to mine...
We will see how it holds up.
You do not understand how the this works. There is no external clip. This is more of a swedge type fitting and secures it self from male to female fitting. Image shared from other post.
It's not a matter of "if" its "when". Rubber takes shape to its environment over time, especially when its pliable like the hose provided. Removing some of the stress from the downward pull with a zip-tie I think will help increase the longevity of the hose. Ideal solution would be to replace the line entirely with one that is about an inch or two longer.
Maybe the oil lines were designed that way too, look where that went. Maybe they are putting together a list so all the current fixes can be done at one time.
I would also look into adding another zip-tie to help hold the line upright. I think only doing the one zip-tie will still cause it to slide to a point (base of the nipple) and still be giving it a nasty tug downward. I like to think of the zip-ties like this...
Just like the driver's side windshield wiper.
