I am looking at replacing all my coolant hoses in the engine bay of my 93 Chimaera as a matter of precaution and am thinking of fitting silicon hoses. Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a complete hose kit from including clips and how much should I expect to pay.
Thanks
Adam

Mine was about £120 from the place below.
Through in some water wetter for good measure.

Thanks Col, just had a look, £109 inc clips, don't think they are silicone but probably good enough, will give them a call tomorrow. Cheers

Nope they are Silicone and include all of the formed hoses that you need. I have a full set on my car, and had a full set on My old S3. Top quality stuff, better than the eBay kit, so I've heard.

Thanks guys, just ordered the ones from ACTproducts, also ordered a new air inlet pipe, air filter and some stainless steel bits for the new hoses. Have been using water wetter and am unsure if it's ok to continue using it with silicone hoses? also what type of antifreeze should i use. I have been using some Castrol stuff from Demon Tweeks.
Thanks
Adam
