The record calls it a diagnosis. The car was parked in a lot, hood up. The finding was a dry rotted hose.
The Job Record
Why Hoses Rot
Rubber hoses live in heat. Over the years they dry out and crack. A cracked hose can leak air or fluid, and that can set off lights or make the engine run badly.
Finding the real cause is what diagnostics is for. A cheap hose is a lot better news than a big part.
