Title: Coolant hoses
Post by: AntMk3GTi on 11 May 2012, 10:58

Hi

Does anybody know the internal diameter of the smaller coolant hoses on top of the engine bay near the expansion tank, the ones that lead to and from the expansion tank and towards the back of the engine bay?

Thanks

Ok cheers. I was looking at lengths of silicone in either 3mm, 4mm or 5mm and was going to order 4mm. But if you say 9mm yeh I think i'll double check and measure one.

I thought 4mm cos they look about the same size as the vac hose on the diverter valve.
