[boxer1968]

hi all
hopefully not a silly question in the process of doing my heater matrix ,old one out new one almost ready to go in ie foam replaced etc dont want to connect up using the old (copper )pipes that were in place of recall restricators(bad spelling) can i just go to dealers and get new pipes to fit direct to matrix in one piece as been to local breakers with no luck , car is 89 8v digi thanks in advance .max

gsf sell uncut heater hoses

thanks just tried local dealership and parts obsolete

Try mark three hoses they should fit same heater matrix!

nice one may go back to breakers and try that its just that one of the rubber hoses seems to have the same inside diameter both sides(connects to metal water pipe) the other does not but if set up the same on mk3 would be handy if not 21miles to gsf cheers mate

This guy is selling a complete set of hoses for about £39. Not tried them myself so not sure what the quality is like though.

Or if you're feeling rich then you can also get Samco hoses.

your dealer speaks with fork tounge, i got the heater pipes direct from engine to matrix from VW recently and they are/were relativly cheap. im having a fiddle with the old girl tomorrow ( the car not a granny ) and if the receipts knocking about ill get the part number.

[boxer1968]

part numbers would be good but came up as obsolute on his screen have a few hours off tomorrow so breakers, it is not many golfs in there but you never know gsf do have them but finding the time to get there grief cheers mate

i bought these on ebay and they are fine mate. the ones you dont use now you can keep for when the originals decide to die/ fall off/ blow up / melt etc
