Coolant pipe needed

[Brentford35]

Hi All,

I’ve sprung a leak on my S2

It’s the hose that comes out of the bottom passenger side of the radiator. Can’t seem to find where I can buy just that hose as it needs to be a certain bend too.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

[Spanish S2]

Act Performance products me thinks.

Must be hose week.

I recently changed my original hoses for silicone, so probably still have the original floating about the garage. No particular bend from memory, certainly the silicone one is just a straight piece which naturally bends slightly to fit. I'll have a look tomorrow.

Hi RayTVR, great thank you. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Cheers

I bought an Auto Silicone Hoses hose to go here. Link >>> A S H

OD = 45mm, ID = 35mm, L = 160-180mm, Elbow Angle = 45°
Can't beat a bit 'o' bling instead of old rubber !

VERY very smart! When is it going to get dirty!!!??

It's only a simple 45 / 135 degree bend. ASH as linked above have plenty. Local motorfactors would likely have a rubber version.

?? You mean drive it ?? On the road, in the rain

Body goes back on as soon as the weather is a bit warmer. Then, planning to register the car as an an "old-timer", when she hits the "Dirty Gertie" at the end of 2019. So, still some time to enjoy the optics

That's different!

I thought the mesh went inside?

[TVRees]

That's how it looked when I bought it.

Think I'll leave it - it's nice to be different

[phillpot]

Good luck picking all the foam out of the air flow meters when it sucks it in

[TVRees]

Good point ! I'll incorporate something to alleviate this possible problem

[phillpot]

Like a piece of folded mesh?

Mmmm let me think, where would you find something like that
