It won't be handling the heat. Try a stainless braided hose or a fitting that moves the hose further away from the heat being generated.

Ive tried a braded hose once but when it was heating up there was coolant coming from the end where i had it clamped, i don't know if that was for water though or if i might need better clamps, Would braided hose with teflon like plastic stuff be okay for water use?

Yes tot he Teflon as it is rated at 250 DegC generall, but the use of the correct fittings is more than likely another issue you are having. You can keep mucking around with this or put a decent hose and fittings on the car, or find the stock setup.
