silicone hoses 90 degrees

[trickytroggle28]

Does anyone know where I can buy a silicone water hose, 90 degree bend with leg length of at least 15cm

Ebay , there are a couple of 'shops' on there that do them

[trickytroggle28]

thanks, the problem I seem to be having is that the leg length is not quite long enough. I wonder if I am looking at the right thing as I only want one piece and not a whole huge expensive kit

[T'Onion]

what diameter ?

so is that a 2.1 running without an oil cooler or a 1.9 with 2.1 waterworks on, if it's a 2.1 I'd advise sticking the oil cooler back on they are there for a reason

Hiya Aidan, what's your thoughts on running a non-injection 2.1 ? ... The reason I ask is that all the injection VWs have oil cooler/warmers even though (for e.g. the Scirocco 1.8 ) the carb version of the same engine doesn't have them.

Ian.

[Aidan]

works both ways warms them up quicker so run optimal and lowest emmisions and helps to keep oil cooler than it would be otherwise as to essentialness on a 2.1 running carbs I don't know, someone would have to run datalogging gear to see but lpg engines may run hotter so probably a good idea; all I know is a 2.1 syncro without an oil cooler doesn't last long and rod through the block not fixable, eh Clive

[Ian Hulley]

Cheers Aidan, I know they wouldn't fit them for nowt ... but then again having binned the injection .....
