Title: FLANGE ~ Needed ASAP
Post by: kraM on 20 April 2009, 13:08

Dunno if this is the right part of the forum, but...

Please HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

I have a 1600 GTi EG engine code.
The coolant flange that comes from the head between #1 & #2 that holds the temp sensor and feeds the top hose to the rad had gone and started weeping.  VW say this not availible anymore. 
Does anyone have one, know where one maybe or if there is a company that buys out NOS from dealers getting rid of old stock?

any help would be hugely welcome,

Thanks

kraM

If you have one, I'll be sooooo happy, it's weeping because there is a hair line crack around where the hose bit turns into the flange bit, if that makes sense?!?!

Could you PM your details and I'll do my best to come and buy it off you asap.

Cheers again
