Title: silicone hoses
Post by: jockgti on 08 June 2011, 22:11: hi,i recently purchased a five piece set of hoses http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-MK4-1-8T-20V-SILICONE-5-PIECE-BOOST-KIT-AUM-AUQ-/150605986778?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D223856489643383819#ht_2093wt_1139
now the guy that was going to fit them has just brought my car back and said they don't fit,the tip i bought as well he said is wrong

now i've never changed hoses before so i have no idea about this kinda thing but are they supposed to be cut to the desired size or should they all fit fine straight out of the box?

my engine code aum and its a 51 plate 1.8t 20v

cheers

Correct you undo the allen bolt on the bit attatched to the turbo and it pulls off then the tip goes directly onto the turbo with a clamp - no more restrictive metal bend!!! :smiley:
