Radiator question
« on: 14 April 2009, 13:47 »
Burst a radiator hose last night, and was hoping to get a replacement pipe at work today, but they don't have any in stock.

They have this flexi radiator hose stuff which they say is just as good.

Can anyone tell me what the diameter of the hole on the bottom driver's side of an 8v Gti radiator is please?

Thanks.

same thing happened to me last week. Burst hose... havent got round to fitting the replacement one yet. But the temp fix is doing a great job... layers of insulation tape reinforced with cable ties!
