[urq] coolant hose question

[Ed Torres]

Your are welcome,
FYI,  if you are buying the kit. 
The one you are looking for, works great. But the main hose from the top radiator (fan side) to the head (by cylinder 1 & 2) I had fitment problems and others in this group as well, I think Chris Knapp was one of them.
( I never returned back mine and never mention them my problem, 034 may or may not have corrected the issue)

Hi Ed
Yes, you're right it's the long one. And this is great. At 
least I now know it's obtainable from 034. Excellent. Thanks very 
much.
Regards
Keith

  Hi,
  

  According to this, it could 
  be the same for the 80/90/Coupe Quattro, S2 and RS2

  I think you are looking 
  for the long one right?  that goes from the bottom of 
  the expansion tank to the bottom of radiator.

> Anyone know of a source for or an imaginative 
  work around for replacing the coolant hose from the expansion tank to the 
  bottom of the main radiator - part number 857-121-109A?
> I haven't 
  managed to locate one yet here in UK. It was made NLA by our helpful 
  manufacturer in 2008. (how to they keep their "tradition" fleet on the 
  road?).
> Mine hasn't given up completely - I had to smarten-up the 
  radiator end of it which of course means it is now about 1in shorter but I 
  can't keep doing this.
> I have a spare rad so I took that to a motor 
  factors and bought a length of hose based on the O/D of the rad fitting but 
  when I came to swap it over I found that the expansion tank end is a 
  significantly larger bore (which did they do that? It makes no sense - other 
  than perhaps a bean counter saved a few pfennigs by re-using an expansion tank 
  off something else???)
> Anyway, you guys across the pond are a few 
  years ahead of us when it comes to inventive solutions to overcome NLA 
  parts...any ideas? All I've though of so far of doing is get two pieces of 
  hose - one to fit the bore of rad the other to fit the bore of the exp tank 
  and a metal joiner/take down piece between them....but it's a bit crap. Does 
  anyone know if there is a hose off another model in the VAG range (or anyone 
  elses range for that matter) that will provide a more elegant 
  solution?
