Got samco hoses on my now sold mk2  :sad:

Seem to fit really well and have lasted aaaages without any cracks

Who had your car Alec?

Don't know what to get next, would LOVE another mk2 but I'm not really in the financial position to maintain one at the minute. If you see a tidy daily VAG car in our area for less than a grand with tax and mot then let me know  :wink:

Tps do hoses don't they? I got 1 for my 1.3 engine a year or 2 ago. Was about 35quid though! It was a tee-piece with different diameter sections that couldnt be bodged with other hoses so I had to buy it!! Pretty sure you could still get exactly whatyour after though..

Ill just take the hose and see if theyve got a hose with slightly bigger angles, if not take it to the scrapyard and have a nose around there. Yer I wouldnt cut on a bend anyway, they seem to differ in shape slightly.

Was the samco hoses for a gti 16v though, or was it custom ? Got a 9A engine but with abf inlet manifold so spout is angled the other way, to the right if looking at it, instead of left.

I'll look on tps

Alec, I didn't know you sold it..... Shame, seems like it went to good home though.... near me!

Foxy, just checked out your website... very :cool: mods for MK4 owners and possible more.

I'd go for a silicone hose set,they look better they last longer and they fit properly,yes they are xpensive but ull probably never have to replace them again.

My hose needs to be custom so can't get silicone.
