Radiator pipes replace

[Critical_Mass 10]

Yeeeellow!

 

Ive seen a VR6 i could be interested in purchasing. I rang the bloke about it and he said it needed the radiator pipes replacing. Is this a job i can do myself, being with limited knowledge of engines? Expensive to buy pipes from VAG?

 

Anything else i should keep a look out for, im off to view it over the weekend?

 

Cheers guys :arrow:

I believe the top hose is very difficult to acquire. I think it can also cost about £80??

I saw on this forum that VAG might not have any soon.

Best invest in a set of Samcos - they will cost about £250 but will replace 7 or 8 of your old hoses.

"Anything to look out for?" is a big question - look up "buying a Corrado" in the search or knowledge base.

I know there is plenty of info there and you can print off the list to take with you.

Generally, VR6 bodywork should not have significant corrosion problems.

If you dont know a lot, you should really take someone who does.

Dont rush and buy on impulse and regret it.

Take your time and consider the things on your list.

Tonite, prepare a list of questions to ask vendor - everything can go out of your head in the heat of the moment without a list

Even airliner pilots need lists to refer to before take off!

 

Good luck.
