Just checked mine. It's similarly just floating in there but not quite as loose as yours. I identified another section where the black hose comes in direct contact with a plastic hard edge (the whole thing seems to be leaning on that edge of the air intake box in the arrow you see). I wrapped it with some gorilla tape to protect against abrasion. Second photo is from the front of the hose so you can see the numbers on it.
Mine is exactly the same. But look at that top hose labeled 406270. What is the base of that leaning on? On mine, it was leaning on hard plastic, which will rub overtime.
Agreed, but I feel they are starting to get on track again. Time will tell.
On mine the metal clamp lines up with the potential plastic contact point you mention. So, if there is contact, I lose plastic (not a hose).
That's good to know, especially as my vehicle is about to arrive
Upon further inspection, my hoses seemed well supported, until I checked them from below. My previous photos were takes from above. I ordered a box of these to strap the lowest coolant hose cross, where the most movement takes place. Don’t worry, I put some rubber between them to prevent chafing.
I need some of that for my unsupported pipes
I bought a 12-pack of 9”. In hindsight I should have got the 9”/12”/16” 12-pack, but 9” seems good for the intended coolant hoses. I can always put two together if needed.I need some of that for my unsupported pipes
