gumpy000 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 So is it? What I mean by this is, I want to upgrade my silicone Hoses. But don't really want to pay £100 or so for it unless I really have to. Been looking at our trusty traders on here and also ebay. I found the below on ebay. Ask a couple of people and some say it will make a bad difference. And others have said. They will be the same thing at end of day. Silicone is silicone. It's just a name your paying for? What's your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 They'll be fine. I've seen big brand ones cheaper on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumpy000 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 I would read this before making any decisions http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=587300 I totally get you lol. I do agree to a point. It most cases I always buy quality over quantity. But in this case surely I am right in saying a rubber hose is a rubber hose? Maybe Like with condoms the cheaper ones will feel better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I being too fussy there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I believe the cheaper ones starting turning white after while from what I read. Lol blue is blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) I seem to remember someone on here was unlucky with blue Samco pipes that went white after a year, too - makes it hard to win sometimes Edit: lots of colours, thread was here.. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/92774-white-spots-on-samco-coolant-hoses/page__hl__samco Edited April 17, 2015 by ChrisB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
