Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 23, 2011 I need a top radiator hose for a VR. I need this pretty quick so i am willing to pay for fast delivery to get it asap! Cheers Gaz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krishen 2 Posted October 23, 2011 Im sure i picked mine up from the dealers and they had it in stock (was about a year ago though). Not cheap mind £56 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 23, 2011 Yeah i can believe that. One that split in the past cost £45! :-/ I dunno how they come up with that price. I'll hold out for a second hand one for now. Im always a believer in buying new when it comes to things like this as you dont know how long a second hand one will last. BUT.. i dont really want to spend £56 on a new one at the mo.

RW1 0 Posted October 23, 2011 Similar words when I priced it as a running spare 3 weeks ago. And VW Heritage .de want 73.70 euros + 19% VAT plus delivery = 105 euros = roughly £92. A lot of spares jumped up with VW % increase plus the VAT going 15% to 20% . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 23, 2011 Billcor you are a star... problem is its E38 so no doubt there will be a PM from a forum friend who will do me out of making a deal ---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ---------- Billcor seriously thanks for the link to E38, looks like ive just about got the pipe i need. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krishen 2 Posted October 23, 2011 £79 + VAT now = £95. . Thats ridiculous. Don't feel so done over now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted October 24, 2011 Absolutely ridiculous! Not a good chunk of money towards a set of Samcos - which probably would be a wise decision. If id buy the top hose new, plus the one i bought end of last year. That would be £150~ on 2 hoses. Ive seen samco kits for the VR for £200 +postage.
