Gohn 62 Posted October 22, 2021 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gohn 62 Posted October 23, 2021 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
