replacment cooling hoses

[nickeboy 0]

I have had two coolant hoses on my 93 vr6 go in as many months, i was thinking of replacing all of them, Would anyone know where i can get a full set a a decent price, i'm not fussed about super costly silicon version really, just good as original replacements

 

any idea's

 

Thanks

I costed it up recently and a full set of samco's came in cheaper than buying indivdually from gsf/ecp/vag

is that around 250 pounds??

I think you may be able to get samcos slightly less than that.

I only replaced one hose last time (head to heater matrix) and that cost £45 alone! The samco is an 8 hose set

great just saw a thread on here for 30 percent off at amber and ordered a full set and clips for 220 over the phone

Just for info, the first spare part I bought for my VR6 7 years ago was a genuine top-hose. £98 !!!

i have recieved my hose's from samco, they all fit with exception of the one that connects to the oil cooler from the cross pipe and the oil cooler from the block, they are totaly wrong, anyone else have the same problem?

Buying new replacements all round from VW will be seriously expensive. Samco's are the next best bet really though I hear they can take weeks and weeks to get from Samco if they don't already have them on the shelves!
