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

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

what diameter ?

there ya go , sorted

you guys are amazing, thanks

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.

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

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