5.7mm expansion tank hose

Post by **Steve P** » 03 Feb 2008, 16:46

After the recommendation on here to change petrol hose and expansion tank hose, and also after looking on Wiki, has anyone got any ideas where I might be able to get some 5.7mm hose from please?

Have done the 6mm petrol hose, and boy it needed doing. Now just got to do the expansion tanks as 3 of the 4 pipes are missing. The remaining one is well rotten.

I can get 5mm from GSF, is it doable with this? Or do I just get 6mm and jubilee clip it?

Sorry for the questions again, but am enjoying doing stuff on the van myself - very rewarding although the wife wouldn't say so!

I got most of my gear from vw van garage dealership near to me. they'll be your best bet. They use an on screen catalogue which shows a blown up diagram of the bus. You should visit your nearest van dealer, the one near me was pretty helpfull.

cheers

Thanks Ian will try that because all the local motor factors just scratched their heads when I asked them.
