Could do with replacing some hoses:



on both my syncros they have suffered and weep at the joins.
could it be because they are (maybe) straight hoses used,
where something more specific is required?

Brickwerks suggests possibly https://www.brickwerks.co.uk/coolant-ho ... -pipe.html

or 38mm coolant hose.

two options for me, get something as a stopgap,
and find out if I need something specific.

It seems better if I put two hose clips on each end,
which kind of indicates that the hoses are stressed,
and maybe need to be shaped items.
End of the day extra clamps not a bad idea..

Not leaking at the moment but like to get it right.

What about this. Goes from right hand cylinder to coolant plastic distributor for 2WD

Thank you.
Suppose the hose is the right dia?
I will check in with BrickWerks,
if its right they could list it as.

Hmm! Perhaps l should have put a question mark in one of the sentences.
All l can say is it fits the coolant spigot on cylinder head.

Got the question
Havent measured anything,
very unsure too.
Could be fine with straight hose.
Just dont know...

Maybe someone who speaks German?
Have a look at other suppliers.

post this on Syncro and say it's for TD, someone will be able to advise; I only have WBX stuff

Are they different, wbx, jx, syncro or not?
I dont have both my vans next to each other,
now away with the TriStar in westcountry,
Camper is in Wales.

At a glance though they looked the same,
the pipes down there look similar anyway.
Both are Syncros, one originally WBX the other JX.
They both have the same problems there.

But then they both have a lot of similar problems!

Neither seems to be leaking now,
but I am keen to find out whats what,
the bits need replacing for sure.

251.121.102 GENUINE Radiator hose T25 1.6TD/1.9/2.1 Syncro – VWS Car Parts (vwsonline.co.uk)

only one on the later WBX, two on the diesel

are the plastic pipes perhaps the issue, reinforcements blown and pipes cracked, the usual issue, see other thread where David links to GoWesty repair solution

These are straight 38mm ID hoses.

Yes Brickwerks did say I could use 38 hose.

The Brickwerks option recommended looks the same,
(might not be the same)
and is a lot cheaper!

Definitely a good idea to inspect the male parts,

haha
