Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 7, 2013 Dont get one mate i had one on mine for a while and the drain screw doesnt do its job after a couple of years and starts leaking, put a standard vw plastic one on will last over 100k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clumpy1 11 Posted December 7, 2013 Well there you go good job you were online jon :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P3rks 11 Posted December 7, 2013 Well there we go then. I thought the gruvenparts one is lifetime warranty though? How much is the OE plastic one from VW? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 7, 2013 About 20/30 quid for plastic one. Didnt know there was lifetime warranty plus id have to send the old part back to the US etc, not worth the hassle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timbo 0 Posted December 7, 2013 A couple of quid spent on some PTFE tape would sort that out... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted December 7, 2013 Probably but i didnt want it happening again so binned it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkFoster 0 Posted December 8, 2013 I've got a 42 Draft Designs one and not had any problems in the three or so years it's been on the car. Not even looked at since it was fitted actually so not sure why I bothered with the flashy brushed finish, lol. http://www.awesomegti.com/brand/42-draft-designs/42-draft-12v-vr6-ss-coolant-pipe-black M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted December 9, 2013 I have had a gruvenparts one fitted to mine for about 5yrs and 70,000miles. Nothing wrong with them. Swapped it from one engine to another too. Although i have never bothered to use the drain plug on it, i usually just disconnect a hose on the rad or thermostat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah thats where the problem lies, dont use the drain plug otherwise you'll run into problems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
