hi,

i blow a radiator hose last saturday, i went to a garage last monday the guy asked for 450 dol, i refused because a hose only cost 15 dol no more, he agreed to do it for 200 bucks (it's already too expensive but i needed my car fast)
he didn't wanna make an invoice and my car seemed to run great, it still is 3 days later.
but something bothers me, i found under my hood a silicon liquid wrench spray that he forgot.
my question is: could he have repair the blown hose with that?
some people told me it's impossible, other say it is. i have to say, when it blew last saturady, my whole radiator emptied in less than a minute, the leak was huge.
