Title: Hoses!
Post by: +49 on 21 September 2011, 16:40: I guys looking at getting a Forge hoses in preperation for mapping my car just got me a nice shiney 007p from awesome!

Anyhows I'm sure Forge are very good but £130 for the TIP alone?!!!
Also I don't really care about how the hoses look or how many I have i just want the ones for "performance" or the most important ones? Is there any good value kits that include these essential 1's?

found this on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-1-8T-Induction-PCV-Boost-Turbo-Hose-Kit-/320486835287?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4a9e810457

Which includes the TIP

Searching other threads someone recommend this cheaper one as working fine on theres

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLF-BORA-AUDI-TT-INTAKE-INDUCTION-HOSE-1-8T-SILICONE-/330435838365?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4cef82c19d#ht_1797wt_905

Would prefer to buy a hole kit as its probably cheaper? So any kits with the essential parts needed for sale?More so a recommend cheaper brand than Forge

thanks

Post by: rockmonkey69 on 22 September 2011, 20:34: thanks. That's an old picture, I still had my power steering reservoir back then. I'm trying to do away with the silicone turbo intake pipe in the near future.

Post by: Dave_IOW on 22 September 2011, 20:53: How much did you 007p hose cost lol

When i looked, as my DV is located there too, they were like 30pound plus :laugh:

A 1.5meter 25mm fish pond hose was bought, wrapped in black insulating tape then put on all for about 6 pound :grin:
Title: Re: Hoses!
Post by: rockmonkey69 on 22 September 2011, 22:03: £30 does sound about right but it does go with the rest of the hoses
Title: Re: Hoses!
Post by: colevo on 25 September 2011, 10:01: alright ladz,ive been looking at these silicon hose sets that you have recommended and was thinking of buying some for mine, but are they really worth getting to make your engine better or purly for show coz of the pritty colours?? :smiley:
Title: Re: Hoses!
Post by: rockmonkey69 on 25 September 2011, 11:13: Depends what you mean by make your engine better, it isn't going to give you more power unless you got a boost leak in one of the hoses your replacing. But the silicone hoses are more durable and less prone to cracking and splitting which you are likely to experience with the original hoses, especially as the mk4 are getting quite old now so it's not uncommon to find a few leaks here and there.
But the hoses do help tidy up the engine bay :cool:
Title: Re: Hoses!
Post by: colevo on 25 September 2011, 12:53: so i suppose it would be a good idea to replace them all with these silicone ones if i was to get a re-map then eh? :smiley:
