Coolant hoses

Well everydays a school day…. yes you are right, no water feed oil cooler fitted to your car, must be just Gti's which have a oil cooler.

They installed in on 89 and below Cabbies, but not the 90-93's  what is really weird is that they installed in on MK2 Golfs/Jetta's/Passat's of 90-93…  I am glad they didn't as I like external thermo-controlled ones.  On my Autos they did make a heck of a difference running down the hot roads with the a/c on.


Just had an additional thought, it is probably because they switched over to the "Digifant" and the plastic flanges and newer sensors…… but then the Golfs had those as well. 3 less things to break on a car isn't a bad thing.

 

My Golf is on a normal every day car insurance, 12,000 miles a year policy as I do around 10,000 miles a year.
My Mk1 Scirocco is on a classic car insurance from Lancaster and that has a 6,000 mile a year policy which was no problem for them but as I found you can only have 1 no claims bonus even though it still me driving… It costs me more to insure my 1.6 Scirocco than the Gti cabriolet….  

Ok mate thanks for that i was unaware that i could insure it straight off on a standard policy .il look into mate i bet il do 10k this year too .i just love driving the thing 😀😀

Just a quick one guys i need my fuel pipes renewing there extremely corroded i found an old thread on here aboit it .some saying copper others saying braided stainless rubber fuel hoses are fine it was a bit inconclusive. Whats your thoughts .thanks

Worth starting a new thread on this subject as it will confuse others if we start another subject in this coolant hoses thread.

Well i got a metal coolant pipe its spot on £20 on ebay including delivery 👍👍

Good to hear it's the right part.  

Thanks mark1 only thing is it has some screw threads on it .as in welded screws pointing out no idea what attatches to them as my current metal pipe does not have them ??

Those Extra threaded studlys are for hose clips on various models.  

Thanks briano .i thought it might be something like that .how do you advertise classifieds on here mate
