Software developer notes

I took a vacation, and the very next day (when leaving the store) I found this little sad sight. Good thing I haven't gone far yet. By the looks of it, it seems to be leaking from the hose near the thermostat. I hope it's not the water pump. We'll have to check it out(( but other than that, the car is a joy. Unfortunately, I don't have that much time to tinker with the car.
The throttle body hose burst. Such a little thing is going to cost me flushing the system and buying new antifreeze. The price of the hoses made me sad; both would have cost 600 rubles. After a bit of googling, I decided to try a Rubex hose, inner diameter 8mm, length 50 cm (each throttle body hose is about 25 cm). GOST 10362-2017 seems to permit the use of this hose in the cooling system. True, the operating temperature range of -50 to 90 degrees Celsius is a bit concerning. But we'll see. Also, the points about gasoline and oil resistance are unclear; the GOST says that an increase in mass within normal limits is possible. Well, we'll see how it holds up. The cost of the fix was 100 rubles. P.S. I think I figured out the GOST. It turns out I didn't read it carefully enough. The interval (-50, 90) is the ambient air temperature. The hose itself can withstand different temperatures depending on what is being run through it. For engine coolant according to GOST 28084, the range is (-60, 120). That seems to be the case. I'll attach a couple of photos.
