g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted March 8, 2016 Someone posted on here a while back about not using the jubilee ones but a different type - think I t was spring clips might have been me m8 only issue with jubilee's was with the hose that connects to PCV - which OEM uses a one time crimp use clip rather than the constant tension clips on the other hoses Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 8, 2016 Someone posted on here a while back about not using the jubilee ones but a different type - think I t was spring clips The jubilee clips are a pain and either ended up leaking or messing the hose up. Swapped over all my lovely marine grade stainless jubilees i bought for spring clamps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted March 8, 2016 the worm drive clips sent by roose have been fine for me. had them on and off a few times Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted March 8, 2016 Are they all the same size the spring clamps? no m8 they are a variety the coolant hoses differ in diameter & as such require different sized spring clamps if you have the OEM hoses currently with OEM clips it should be possible to reuse them however, as per VAG-hag mentions, i too have not personally experienced an issue with the product specific clips brought from roose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted March 8, 2016 very nice Jim! i have favourite that for later lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 8, 2016 A few of the smaller diameter ones i did use jubliee's, like the throttle body ones and header tank, those hoses don't seem to expand or suffer as much as the bigger ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black dub 0 Posted March 8, 2016 Did these hoses fit the corrado as I've done a side by side of a mk3 golf vr6 n my corrado vr6 samco hoses and the 2 main radiator hoses r different. The corrado lower hose is bigger in diameter at rad and the top hose is different shape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p0l1wrath 10 Posted March 20, 2016 Sorry only just got round to trying to fit these hoses today, they did not fit, going to contact creation tomorrow and see if maybe they sent me the wrong set, but I can only assume they only stock gold ones...

Jim 2 Posted March 21, 2016 Hmmm... subject to what they say I think I'll just end up going for the Roose set as we know they fit well with many happy customers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah, i've had three of my samcos split. They split internally which seemed to make them weep at the ends. Looked like a manufacturing fault to me, i contacted Samco about it but they couldn't give a **** really. Really happy with the Roose ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p0l1wrath 10 Posted March 21, 2016 Heard back from creation and their going to give me a full refund, going to go for the roose set from everyone's recommendations! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 21, 2016 Wonder if they'd be interested in a group buy. That's two of us after a set. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon_vr6 1 Posted March 21, 2016 Id be interested if a group buy went ahead for roose hoses and clips too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 22, 2016 Out of curiosity, what colour / style hoses would you both be after? I think we'd stand a better chance on a discount if we all got the same. I'm more than happy to contact them about a group buy discount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p0l1wrath 10 Posted March 22, 2016 Balls, sorry guys, seen this too late, ordered mine this morning because I wanted them for the weekend, very keen for getting the car back on the road... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted March 22, 2016 Damnit :( Ok mate nevermind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 22, 2016 I might be up for buying a complete set, i have a mix of samco and roose at the moment, would prefer them all roose. I'd want them in black, anything else is just too max power for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted March 22, 2016 Black isn't my first choice but I'd go with it if it netted us a discount. I could give them a ring at lunch time and see if they'd budge on price for 3 sets in black :) *edit* Googling around it looks as though they only shift on price for orders of 10 sets or more, and even then only 10% - no chance of us getting 10 sets bought I wouldn't think :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black dub 0 Posted March 22, 2016 If anyone is interested I have a brand new unused Red corrado vr6 coolant hose kit samco for sale, only selling as having engine bay painted Red so would be a bit too much Red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
