While I have the engine out I might as well replace the OEM hoses under the inlet mani. They are looking and feeling a bit tired. Anyone know the best place to get replacements or is it a case of custom work?
The picture below is the current setup.
Thanks
I bought these the other day; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silicone-...72.m2749.l2649
Not bad as it included all coolant hoses except the long ones which go behind the engine into the cabin heater matrix... the only ones I really wanted lol.
Hose length is fine and all shapes are oem, only problem is oem hose clamps are now too small so best to get a worm gear camp set of mixed sizes.... which leads to second issue, when tightening worm gears tight they bite in and slightly cut the other surface so not the hardest material but they are fiber reinforced and quite thick so will take a long time to wear through.
Thanks for the info I shall have a look. There's no point in keeping tired old hoses, especially when they're hard to reach once the motor is in lol. Cheers man
PM sent, got some for sale.
