Title: Radiator coolant hoses... where to buy?
Post by: aerospace on 19 December 2006, 16:01

Hello, Does anyone know wether the BOTTOM radiator hose for a 1.1 litre engine Mk1 Golf is the same as any of the larger engines?

Or where I can buy a hose that will be suitable?
They were made obsolete two years ago!

Any advice on universal Flexible Hoses?

Thanks, Ed.

Well spotted.

I went to my local branch today and managed to get a few bits, sadly the bottom hose clearly wasn't the right shape, even by checking my number plate on their system they couldnt find the correct one. I am hoping I can make a Top Rad hose fit the bottom... Not sure how they have the wrong diagram, as the one you kindly put up is identical to my car...

Well at least I know about EuroCarParts now.
