Guest ashnicholls Posted June 6, 2006 I know this sounds backwards, but its becaue im fitting a gti engine into a 1.1 car. But will i need that metal tube that mounts on the inside wing, that joins some pipes from the engine to the rad if I have got a silicon hose kit, just checking whether i need to get one.

Guest rick03054 Posted June 6, 2006 Well you'll need a pipe. Doesn't have to be the metal pug one though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capn.

Are these readily available for a 1.9 or did you make all the bits up (ie. angles etc) yourself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rick03054 Posted June 7, 2006 ok, just use a metal pipe to join it then? Metal, plastic, as long as it seals and wont shake out you can bodge anything in there The metal pipe is attached to the chassis leg, I don't know if joining the hoses with a bit of unsupported pipe would risk it contacting anything or not, so that would be worth checking as you do it. Sorry to go a little off topic.....You mention a silicon hose kit. Are these readily available for a 1.9 or did you make all the bits up (ie. angles etc) yourself? Thery're readily available. Search for "samco" on here and google. Also check the group buy section, bakerbm is starting selling kits soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest downsy Posted June 7, 2006 I bought my set from a rally parts supplier in faversham. They aint cheap but they are fat as hell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ashnicholls Posted June 7, 2006 I got a set of venair sports hoses. http://www.venairsport.co.uk/ Much cheaper than samco, and look good quality, and they said they would replace any pipe if it did break, yet they said all hoses are tested and shouldnt break. I paid £170, got free delivery as a member, and that was full the full 9 hose kit to suit the 8v, which includes the header tank pipe. Has anyone done this bodge, does it need attaching to the chassis leg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kev-G 1 Posted June 7, 2006 Go to Peugeot and get the correct pipe - It attaches to the chassis leg and is flattened to clear the wheel (although not sure that this is overly critical). The right part is available relatively cheaply - Use it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted June 7, 2006 The right part is available relatively cheaply - Use it... Bought one from my local Peugeot dealer the other day - £9.43+VAT and they had it in stock as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
