Russelltp 0 Posted March 19, 2006 I'm replacing all the brake lines on my 1.9 205 at the moment and i've noticed that the flexi lines that are on the car going around the beam have female unions at both ends whereas my replacement flexis have female at one end and male at the other. Has anyone come across this before as I'm assuming I've been sold the wrong parts? Tim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone come across this before as I'm assuming I've been sold the wrong parts? Tim The near-side beam hose on a 1.6 is a male/ female. They may well have given you 2 of those, by mistake. If they're Goodridge hoses I wouldn't be suprised if they're wrong. The first set I got from them had the wrong thread size on all the female ends! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim did you buy them separately or as part of a kit? what make are they? should go straight on if they're from a kit and the oe brake pipe unions haven't been changed on the car you might need some sort of sleeve nut to convert the fixings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duroc 2 1 Cars Posted March 19, 2006 The kit for standard 1.9 gti should have 2 female/female hoses to go over the beam tube (as you have on your car now). So the kit you have is wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like GSF screwed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3Evo 0 Posted March 19, 2006 Seem to recall that two of the rear flexi pipes on ABS equipped cars are different to the norm just incase that makes any difference in your case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted March 20, 2006 Sounds like the 1.6 and 1.9 difference to me, and given GSF are involved almost certainly their screw-up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Russelltp 0 Posted March 22, 2006 It was GSF, got the right parts now - cunningly listed under 309 drum brakes part no T65708 and says on the packet 205 GTI/CTI 1.9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
