Samco kit for a VR6

[Rpmayne 0]

Does anyone keep this kit on the shelf? I'm getting waiting times of around 12 weeks, some not even comitting themselves to that! Preferrably blue which seems to be the most common colour anyway, I'm having the whole engine out and was thinking of replacing these at the same time. Also, is £225.00 for the kit about right? Ta.

You should be able to get blue no problem. I was quoted a 6 week wait for any other colour.

 

Yes, they are over £200.

 

Try Hose Direct in Doncaster.

Cheers, tried hose direct but they haven't got any in stock either. Might buy PVW tonight and go through the trade sections. Will post if I have any luck and anyone else is after any.

Having a nightmare finding anyone with stock.. Demon tweaks don't have any and Venom motorsport said they have stopped selling them completely because of the rediculous order times. The search continues...

I give up.. tried 2 more VW specialists with no joy. Jabbasport even advised me not to buy them as they have known a G60 kit fitment with nothing but problems. Apparently the pipes kept popping off! Maybe I'm too used to Golf parts being so easily obtainable but this is too much.

Yeah that used to happen on my mate's 2.0 G60. The throttle body hose kept falling off, no matter how hard you tighten the jubilee clip. Two reasons: - 1) Samcos do not stretch like OE hoses, or anywhere near as much, and 2) Samcos don't stick well to oily surfaces.
