Help Needed Indentifying what samco coolant hose goes where!

Recommended Posts

I've just had my Samco Coolant hoses delivered for my G60. But due to recent issues with a garage working on the car (you all know the story) none of the current hoses are attached.

 

Can anyone help Identifying what goes where!

It's reasonably self explanatory mate - the kit looks correct but note you have to cut some of them down to fit and it helps if you have the originals to use as a template - you need a very sharp knife for this!

 

Also have you thought about hose clips?? Mikalor do some really good ones but be careful not to overtighten onto the plastic fittings...

 

I'd advise fitting a new expansion tank and deffo get new plastic flanges all round, 2 on the head, 1 on the rad and one off the waterpump which houses the thermostat.

 

OE heat exchanger - you have the 2 hoses with 3 outlets for the heat exchanger, if you still have it and intend on keeping it then get a new one if its the original, if you are deleting it you will either need to bypass is using some copper elbows (a U shape) or get the standard mk1 hoses from the dealer and not use the SMACO's or maybe contact Samco and see if you can swap them??

1) Rad bottom to metal pipe

2) Rad top hose + expansion tank breather

3) Bottom waterpump to metal pipe to rad bottom hose

4) Expansion tank to metal pipe over gearbox

5) Middle waterpump to metal pipe over gearbox and oil cooler

6) Metal pipe over gearbox to heater matrix

7) Top waterpump to oil cooler and flange on front of head

8) Heater matrix to flange on side of head

 

I think that's correct anyway... 8)
