cmck13 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Fitted some coolant hose pipes to the engine but I've ended up with this left and I am damned if I can find where it goes as a replacement? Any one got any ideas? Thanks in anticipation. the hose is 12mm dia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmck13 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Thanks for the replies but I have fitted all the ones that you have shown, I seem to remember that I have seen this issue before on this site and I don't think it was resolved on the previous enquiry. I am now thinking that maybe its a JDM issue and I have paid for a useless bit of tube? It doesn't fit our export models,unless you know better? Thanks for the contributions.

choptop Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Wierd shape. Cannot see why it would go one way then back again. You could chop it up to make smaller hoses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already looked at doing this and I can see one or two places I can do this so it will not be a waste, but these hose pipes are for sale on this site by official sellers advertising them for us ? It just seems a waste that you buy 5 pipes and end up throwing one away, can I add that I did not buy these from any one on this site but I have seen them for sale on our offficial suppliers internal sites, I was hoping they would give me the answer. Any way thanks for all your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 5 hoses? Most kits only have the 4 (Overflow to rad, upper radiator, lower radiator & bypass hose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 5 hoses? Most kits only have the 4 (Overflow to rad, upper radiator, lower radiator & bypass hose) Regardless of whether its 4 or 5, that is not the question, where does the hose fit, as per my photo? So can we get back to that please. Cheers jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Why not ask the vendor that sold it to you? This appears to be the only kit on the market with 5 hoses, maybe its not supposed to be part of the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This appears to be the only kit on the market with 5 hoses, maybe its not supposed to be part of the kit I have emailed that question to my supplier and I am awaitng a reply, but I am aware that two of our official suppliers sell this hose on this site and less than 6 month ago this situation arose without an answer. If you are saying you do not know where it fits thats fine because thats what I am asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 It might help if you gave a bit more info than "errrr, where does this go" The other kit that had this problem was a 4 piece kit, you claim your is a 5 piece kit. Where have you fitted the other 4 pieces? There are only 4 main hoses that get replaced, the only other hose really it could be is the brake booster hose. If its not the overflow to radiator hose then try it on the brake booster, but it looks a bit long for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
