Replacement bleed hose coupler?

[daveletranger]

Hi all, been consulting this forum from time to time for a while - first time posting. I've been working on a blown head gasket on my 06 S40 T5 (1st time doing that) and have been rounding up the parts I'll need to get everything back together. The issue I'm having is there was a cracked clip on one of the hoses that came apart when I pulled the hose. IPD has the hose listed but states that the "original Volvo coupler" is to be removed and re-used, and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can I simply use a hose clamp on this, or would that cause a problem? I'm including a link to the hose with the coupler pictured further down the page, with the green clip: https://www.ipdusa.com/products/10083/1 ... ipd-121335
