ziderapple 0 Posted October 25, 2006 Hi, for reasons I cannot explain (must have sensed a gremlin) before starting up the c this morning I thought I had bettter just check levels, and noticed a small split in the top coolant hose, so I limped to my local VW specialist so he could take a look and order in the correct hose - evidently an expensive bas***d - plus it split while he was looking at it firing coolant in his eye :lol: (he's ok though!) So I have just ordered a set of Samco hoses :D (tried to order through g-werks but said would have to wait 5 weeks - sorry g man) found a supplier with a set on the shelf said they'll be here by tommorrow. anyway I still have the old black coolant cap on the expansion tank, as I'm spending money on the cooling at the mo do you guys think it would be worthwhile getting a later blue one? Cheers. Chris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted October 25, 2006 Yep- it's a cheap part that can cause probs. Defo worth changing. Get a proper VAG one though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ziderapple 0 Posted October 25, 2006 thanks, any chance you've got the part no? my local stealers will probably try and tell me there is no such thing, or that my black one is in fact blue..... cheers. Chris. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
