Bakerbm Engine To Intermediate Pipe Hose

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

Test fitted my hoses today to make sure everything was hunky dory.

 

The outlet at the rear of the block, which joins with a hose to the 205 intermediate pipe has an englarged end.

 

It looks like with a lot of persuasion it could be forced over the end of the outlet, and on to the housing itself. The reason I question is, because the other end of the pipe fits nicely so wondering if I had the right pipe.

 

I have checked the other pipe of the same angle to see if the rad had a larger bore, it doesn't.

 

Before I stretch the hose over the ribbed outlet and onto the housing itself, (which I can't see any benefit from) I thought I would see what others did.

 

I remember searching a while ago for another problem and coming across a pic with someone having the same problem, but didn't read it as I didn't think I would have the same issue and can't find it for the life of me

Edit

 

I had the same issue as in the other post. I guess you've been sent the pipes the wrong way round though, Stew supplying a Xsara kit and you have a 306 engine.

 

Call Stew and he'll supply the correct pipe FOC.

I had the same issue with getting my bbm hose onto the water distribution block.

Went to the chemist and got a tube of KY Jelly to lube up the hose. Worked a treat and fitted fine.

 

Remember to check and tighten ALL the hose clips after a shake down.

There are 2 types of lower hose, The Alloy and Plastic water Dist unions have a different dia, and the GTi6 one uses the smaller one of the 2 as well

Rang Stew.

 

I was obviously sent a Xsara hose by mistake. It's being exchanged

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Xsara one's are the same as GTi6 ones, smaller of the 2

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

Well, I had the incorrect one for my engine and it's being replaced

 

I think Stew is looking into changing it from the option of GTi6/xsara kit to whether the customer has plastic or metal which makes more sense.
