Title: mk1 20v tophose help
Post by: peterg60 on 13 March 2011, 18:54

ok next wall ive hit , im using a renault laguna top hose

the lauguna hose fits perfect to 1 on digram but that mean i have to lose that pipe circled , the thing is where would the oil filter cooler pipe go? or do i fit it on the t piece and block that nipple

could you not just flip the rad upside down, or fit one with outlets on the same side

what about cutting the laguna hose and fit the VW plastic elbow? just cap the top nipple if you dont need it with a bolt or something
