Re: Coolant hose- thermostat housing to head

Re: Coolant hose- thermostat housing to head
Yeah. Post a picture Or scroll through Brickwerks coolant hoses Or goto 7 zap vw. Choose typ2/syncro, then your year. Then pick the engine icon to find the schematic and grab the 9/10 digit VAG code, then google that code to find a supplier. https://volkswagen.7zap.com/en/rdw/ Many thanks for the g...

Re: Coolant hose- thermostat housing to head
Ajsimmo, your post popped up after isent out my thanks and pics etc. Many thanks for you info too. I agree it seems a really odd thing to do and now you mention it i wonder if the original housing has been swopped out and hence the 2 ports dont align but given that from the right side of the Thermos...

Re: Coolant hose- thermostat housing to head
DoubleOSevern, many thanks for taking the trouble to reply, much appreciated. Unfortunately, probably because i didnt describe the hose well enough, i dont think the one from Brickwerks is the one i need. The one linked to goes from the plastic 'H' shaped distribution unit that is connected to the h...

Re: Lumpy running and yep the old favourite a misfire...
Oh dear! :oops: l need more sleep... :run Ha! [emoji16] No worries. Meanwhile, back to the original question... It's not all that clear to me whether the engine now starts or runs from cold, if it just misfires when warm, or misfires/backfires all the time now. If the latter it might be that the di...
