Coolant Hose Joining

Recommended Posts

almost a catastrophe

the TD's been running great...

when I refurbed and put the engine in though, one of the little coolant hoses was a bit worn out

its 15mm ID with a few bends (peug 1307K9, sasic SWH0368)

and in a tight spot at the front of the engine and runs from the thermostat down to the heat exchanger

there's none in the country, france, or the UK

(there's about 4 sites in russia that have them)

 

 

so I kept the part of the hose that was good, and got another silicone section and joined that on to make a complete hose

but, my joiner was just a straight piece of ally pipe 17mm OD, no flanges at all

so over time one hose section has just slid off my joiner

the joint finally ruptured on a little hill, probably lost all its coolant in about 30seconds

lucky it was just a short trip around town

the dash lights come on about 150m from home so I turned off the engine and rolled home

to find out that there's a good reason hose pipes have flanges ....der

managed to find a proper hose joiner that's built for purpose

with flanges !

its 16mm OD and everythings working good now

what a plonker

I have 4 on stock here , if you need new one ..

 

In you're money , that'll be around 12.50 AUS for the hose ... but the postage to the AUS , not sure how much $$ would that be .

really !

champion !

I thought the russians had somehow cornered the world's supply

the current setup is pretty snug but it would be nice to have a proper one piece hose again

 

I'll send a pm
