Title: What size pipes are....
Post by: Nino on 30 June 2013, 21:12

Hey guys, I'm want to change all the rubber hoses that are on the left hand side (as your looking from the front e.g drivers side) to silicone you know the pipes that are connected to the coolent bottle, carbon canister etc. I've had a scout and I'm guessing there known as coolent pipes? But cannot find a supplier that does them so I'm thinking of just buying the pipe in silicone and doing it myself. My question is what size are they?

FULL coolant hose kit (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Golf-MK4-1-8-20v-Turbo-SFS-Silicone-Coolant-Hose-Kit-Red-/350824987183?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item51aecc7a2f)
coolant pipes need to be reinforced mate!  can`t just use the stuff we use for vac hose!
also, if you do a carbon canister delete, you can get rid of them hoses, job done!
